Defragmenting partitions reassigns slots in the library so that all slots in
each partition are physically contiguous with one another. In addition,
media is moved as needed to make sure it resides in the correct partition.
In the process, tapes are first moved from their old location to the I/E
station, and then are moved to their new location in the library.
Defragmenting Partitions 5
After enlarging a partition or adding an expansion module to the library,
check for partition fragmentation, and then defragment partitions if
necessary.
1 Log on as an administrator.
2 Make sure that you are viewing the physical library. From the View
menu, click the name of the physical library.
3 Click Tools→ Partitions Defragmentation.
Only partitions that contain an I/E station can be
defragmented. Also, at least one magazine in the I/
E station must be empty. Partitions that do not
contain an I/E station cannot be defragmented and
will be skipped.
Depending on the size of the library,
defragmenting partitions can be a time-consuming
process.
