CREATING A STORAGE PARTITION
The following sections describe using the BlueScale partition wizard to
create a new storage partition.
Note: If your library uses E-QIPs to provide network connectivity, refer
to the documentation that accompanied your library when you
received it for information about configuring E-QIP-based
storage partitions.
Define the Initial Storage Partition Settings
If you did not yet create any partitions on the library, you can choose to
either have the BlueScale partition wizard automatically create a single
storage partition that uses all or most of the licensed chambers and
installed drives or you can use the wizard to manually create storage
partitions to your own specifications.
Figure 107 Specify the number of chambers for the cleaning
partition.
The drives you plan to use in the partition must be installed in the library before
you start configuring the partition.
Components not configured in a partition may not display in the BlueScale
interface for a few minutes after library initialization.
