Partitioning Process

Partitioning Process

Note – Starting with SL500 firmware version 1300 and SL Console version FRS_4.00, library partitioning upgrades must be installed through the SL500 licensing utility. Partitioning established on a library prior to version 1300 is retained permanently. See Chapter 4, “Licensing” for details.

Partition Configuration Process

When configuring library partitions for the first time, it is recommended that you use the library partition screens in the following sequence:

1.Instructions (Step 1)—Review summary instructions for the partition configuration process.

2.Summary (Step 2)—Display summary partition configuration and host-partition connection information. Optionally access other screens to perform the following tasks:

Add Partition

Modify Partition

Delete Partition

Add Connection

Modify Connection

Delete Connection

3.Design (Step 3)—Display and optionally modify detailed partition boundary information. Optionally access other screens to perform the following tasks:

Verify Partition Configurations

Refresh the display with current data from the library controller database

4.Commit (Step 4)—Commit all changes made in the Summary(2) and Design (3) screens, and all associated popups, to the library controller database. Optionally access other screens to perform the following task:

Refresh the display with current data from the library controller database

You can use the Reports screen at any time to display, and optionally save or print, partition configuration information from the library controller database.

SL Console Partition Workspace

The partition Summary (Step 2) and Design (Step 3) screens, and all associated popups, give you a dynamic workspace to design your library partitions. All partition configuration information is automatically saved to the partition workspace in

SL Console memory and retained for the duration of your SL Console session. This allows you to switch among partition views and leave and return to the partition screens any number of times without losing your configuration changes.
