Scalar 24 Installation and Operation Guide 77
Configure Partitions
Partitioning is used to allow your single Scalar 24 library to be logically partitioned so it will appear to a host
as if it were two independent physical libraries. Each logical library (partition) can be independently
controlled as though it were a separate library. The partitioning types available are random-sequential,
sequential-sequential, LUN-sequential, LUN-LUN, and sequential-LUN; random-random is not supported at
this time.
Partition 1 can operate in random, sequential, or LUN (LTO only) modes.
Partition 2 can operate in sequential or LUN (LTO only) modes.
The partition size is configurable. Each partition is assigned one of the front magazines but may have a
configurable number of rear slots (minimum 1) assigned. The first drive module is assigned to the first
partition and the second drive module is assigned to the second partition. If the library is not partitioned, all
data slots and drive modules are assigned to a single partition. Follow the procedure below to configure
partitions.
NOTE: Partition will only appear in the Configure Slots menu if you have specified Rnd-Seq, Seq-Seq,
LUN-Seq, Seq-LUN, or LUN-LUN mode. LUN modes can be specified only on libraries with LTO drives.
Otherwise your Scalar 24 will operate as a single library.
