What is a partition?

A partition is an abstraction of an underlying physical library that will be considered a different personality, capacity, or both

to a host. It is a collection of real physical elements, combined to create a grouping that is different from the physical library,

and is often dedicated to a single host application. Another term for partition is "logical library." For a more detailed

discussion, read

How many characters can be in the barcodes?

The library reads barcodes up to 16 characters. For more about barcodes, refer to

Barcode Requirements

.

What barcode formats are supported?

Cartridges must have an external barcode label that is machine-readable to identify the volume serial number. A barcode

must use only uppercase letters A to Z and/or numeric values 0 to 9. The library currently supports Code 39 type barcode

labels. For more about barcodes, refer to

Barcode Requirements

What do I do if I lose my password?

Contact Dell Support for instructions to reset the password. Refer to

Getting Help.

What do I do if I lose power during a backup?

Because your system contains redundant power supplies, it is unlikely that power will ever be completely unavailable to the

library. However, the library should recover even if power does go out completely during a backup. If power remains off,

press the Power button and leave it in the off position until a reliable power source is obtained. Once the power to the library

is turned back on, the library will recover. You will need to re-run the backup using your application software.
