Chapter 4: Configuring the Library
Working With Partitions
Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 55
When the library creates partitions, it assigns the first tape drive in the
partition as the control path. You can change the control paths at any
time. See
Configuring Control Paths on page 67 more information.
Before creating partitions, verify that all tape drives are unloaded and
that all cartridges are in their appropriate storage slots. For information
on unloading tape drives, see
Unloading Tape Drives on page 161.
You can create partitions manually only on the Web client.
