Product Overview

Partitions

Partit

ions are virtual sections within a library that present the appearance of multiple, separate
libraries for purposes of file management, access by multiple
host applications.

Organizing the library into partitions divides the resources into virtual sections. If one of the resources
is not available due to a failure or other cause, the other partitions and their assigned components are
still available.

The

Control Path

The “control path” tape drive is used to connect a partition to a host application. Only one tape drive
can be selected as the control path at one time. By default, the first tape drive assigned to a partition
is designated the control path. In the event that the control path connection to the host application
fails, you can select a new control path for the partition.
