Partitioning the Library
The Spectra 12000 library provides Shared Library Services (SLS). You
may partition the library so that it performs and looks like more than one
partition up to a total of four partitions. Each library can be dedicated for
a specific host or application. You always need to set up partitioning on a
new library, even if you are using only one partition.
To create a partition on a new library, you will have to unassign slots
from the default partition. You must have at least one unassigned set of
15 slots and one unassigned drive to create a new partition. To do this
use the following steps.
To set up partitioning:
1. On the Library Controller, tap Toolbars, then tap Configuration. The
Configuration toolbar displays.
2. Tap the Partition icon on the Configuration toolbar.
3. The Shared Library Services screen displays a button for the entire
library and a button for each configured partition (Figure 4-2).
Note: On a new library you will see an All Partitions bar
and a Library 1 bar.
