Chapter 4: Configuring the Library
Working With Partitions
60 Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide
Changing the partition mode changes whether or not the specified
partition is online or offline to the host application. Changing a
partition mode using the library interface may affect your host
application. See your host application documentation for more
information.
Note: The library automatically turns partitions offline when
performing certain operations, and turns them back online
again when the operation successfully completes. If the
operation fails, the partitions will remain offline until you
manually turn them back online again.
Note: Some maintenance activities require that the entire library be
taken offline. To take the library offline, change the mode of all
partitions from online to offline.
When you are changing the partition mode, be aware of the following:
• When you access the Change Partition Mode screen, you will see
only partitions to which you have been given access.
• When changing the partition mode from online to offline, all host
application commands in progress at the start of the mode change
are completed.
You can change partition modes from the operator panel or the Web
client.
