PREPARING TO CONFIGURE PARTITIONS
Asyoupreparetoconfigurepartitionsinthelibrary,keepthefollowing
requirementsinmind.Theserequirementsapplytobothcleaningand
storagepartitionsandareinadditiontothosedescribedinStorage
Partitionsonpage155andCleaningPartitionOverviewonpage160.
User Privilege Requirements Onlyuserswithsuperuseroradministrator
privilegescancreateormodifypartitions.SeeUnderstandingUserGroups
andSecurityonpage96forinformationaboutthethreetypesofuser
groupsandwhattypesofprivilegeseachhas.
Slot Availability Whenyoucreateastorage partition,the library
automaticallymakesallofthelicensedcartridgeslotsthatarenotalready
assignedtoanotherpartitionavailableforuseinthenewpartition.Ifallof
theslotsinyourlibraryarealreadylicensed andassignedtoexisting
partitions,youmustmodifyoneormorepartitionstomakeslotsavailable
forcreatinganewpartition(see ModifyinganExistingPartitionon
page186).
Background Operations Youcannotcreate,modify,ordeleteapartitionif
thelibraryisactivelyrunningaPreScanorPostScanoperationorifthe
libraryisperformingcertainotherbackgroundprocesses(forexample,
MediaAutoDiscovery).
Note: SeeMLMPreScanandPostScanonpage233tolearnhowthe
MLMPreScanandPostScanfeaturesinteractwiththestorage
partitions.
IfyoudonotwanttowaitforaMediaAutoDiscovery,PreScan,or
PostScanoperationtocomplete,youcanstoptheMediaAutoDiscoveryor
PreScanoperationorpausethePostScanoperation.Forotherbackground
operations,waitfortheprocesstocomplete.
 ClickStop Discovery ontheMediaLifecycleManagementToolsscreen
tostopaMediaAutoDiscoveryorPreScanoperation(seeInitiate
MediaDiscoveryManuallyonpage243).
 ClickPause PostScanontheMediaLifecycleManagementToolsscreen
topausePostScanforonehour(see
PausethePostScanProcesson

Creation Order Youcanconfigurestoragepartitionseitherbeforeorafter
youconfigurecleaningpartitions.However,ifyouknowthatyouwantto
useAutoDriveCleanwithastoragepartition,itiseasiertoconfigurethe
cleaningpartitionbeforeyouconfigurethestoragepartition.
Ifyouselecttocreatethestoragepartitionsbeforethecleaningpartition,
youmustmodify thestoragepartitiontoassignthecleaningpartitiontoit
(therebyenablingAutoDriveCleanforthepartition).
