Configure Library: Logical Libraries

To partition your multi-drive library, select the number of logical libraries you would like to create in your library, then click Submit.

One cartridge magazine cannot be assigned to two logical libraries. If you partition a multi-drive library, each of the magazines must be assigned to a logical library on a magazine boundary. The entire magazine must be part of one logical library only. In a fully populated 4U library with two logical libraries, resource assignments will be as follows:

vLogical Library 1 will contain Drive 1 and the left cartridge magazines.

vLogical Library 2 will contain Drive 2 and the right cartridge magazines.

The I/O Station and the reserved slot (or dedicated cleaning slot (DCS) if one is assigned) are shared among all logical libraries.
