2 Open the library front door. If necessary, move the picker assembly up the Y-axis to allow room. Slide
the storage column in place.
3 Perform one of the following two steps depending on the column you are installing:
• If you are installing column 4, use the T20 Torx wrench to tighten the two bottom hex screws
that attach the storage column to the bottom chassis.
• If you are installing column 5, use the 7/16 nut driver to tighten the bolt that attach the storage
column to the bracket.
4 Install the top bolt using the 7/16 nut driver.
5 Place the magazines in the storage column.
Partitioning Your Library
In Drive Control Path libraries, you can divide the drives and storage slots into up to three partitions.
Partitioning the library allows the server to run different applications in each partition and mixing LTO drives
within your library. You can install different generations of LTO drives in your library; however, the drive
types cannot be mixed within the same partition. Partitions cannot share drives or storage slots. An
exception to the sharing restrictions are cleaning tapes, which can be shared among all partitions.
Path: Main Menu > More > Setup > Library > Partitions
1 From the main menu, select More and then select Setup and then select Library. Select Partition.
2 The number of partitions appears on the panel.
3 To change the quantity of partitions, press Next until the quantity of partitions that you want displays.
Press OK.
4 Reboot the library to activate the changes.
Control Path
Control paths are logical paths into the library through which a server sends SCSI command to control the
actions of the partition. Additional control paths reduce the likelihood of a the entire library to fail if one
partition should go down.
Configuring AutoCleaning
In most configurations, drive cleaning is controlled through the host; however, if desired, the library has an
AutoClean feature that enables the library to control drive cleaning. (Host controlled drive cleaning is the
default condition.)
Drive cleaning requires cleaning cartridges to be imported into the library. (Note that cleaning cartridges are
imported differently than regular tape cartridges.) A total of three cleaning cartridges can be imported. These
cartridges are stored in fixed slots located at the top of columns 2, 4, and 5. These slots are not counted as
part of the slot capacity of the library, are not included in the report of storage elements, and are not
addressable to SCSI hosts.
Note
You can enable the partitioning feature after drives are installed and the control
path feature is enabled.
Note
A DLT cleaning tape cannot be used in an SDLT drive.
