Working With Partitions
Scalar i2000 User’s Guide 111
Table 19 shows an example of how the return media identifier behaves,
depending on the setting you choose: Disabled, Prefix, Suffix, and Pass
Through. The bold, underlined portion is the media identifier.
For more information about configuring the Media Type Checking and
Return Media Identifier settings, see
Creating Partitions Manually on
page 113.
Creating Partitions 4
You can create library partitions in three ways:
• By using the Setup Wizard
• Automatic mode
• Manual mode
The method you should choose depends on the circumstance and the level
of control you want in allocating resources to the partition. In Automatic
mode, the library assigns available system resources to create the number
of partitions you specify. Automatic mode is not available if a partition
already exists. Manual mode enables you to pick specific drives, storage
magazines, and magazines within an I/E station to assign to a partition.
Table 19 Return Media
Identifier Behavior Example
Setting Volume Serial Number Returned to Host*
Disabled ABC123
Prefix L1ABC123
Suffix ABC123L1
Pass Through ABC123L1
*Based on actual LTO-1 barcode: ABC123L1
Make sure that you have adequately planned for
the number of partitions that you want to
configure.
