Chapter 6 — Configuring and Managing Partitions Creating a Storage Partition

Use the following steps to configure the robotic path visibility.
1. From the Partition Users screen, click Next. The Robotic Path Visibility
screen displays.
2. Select either one or both ports to provide the robotic control path.
Notes: Selecting both ports provides a redundant connection to the
robotics, but requires software that supports two control
paths.
Alternatively, you can use two controllers and configure
controller failover (see Configure Controller Failover on
page 127).
The WWPN of the Fibre Channel port on the exporting
controller is used as the WWN for the partition. See World
Wide Names for Fibre Channel Partitions on page 63 for
detailed information about the relationship between the Fibre
Channel port on the exporting controller and WWNs for
partitions.
Configure Drive Visibility
Notes: This section is not applicable if your library does not use
F-QIPs to provide connectivity for SCSI drives. Skip to
Configure the Port Addressing for the Controllers on
page 205.
The Fibre Channel ports on the F-QIP have an any-to-any
relationship to the SCSI drives in the DBA.
Figure 120 Select the port on the exporting controller
that will be used to communicate with the robotics.
