Partition Configuration Tasks

Verify Partition Configurations

Use this procedure to verify partition configuration changes you have made during this SL Console login session. This procedure warns you of the following possible errors:

A partition has orphaned cartridges. See “Orphaned Cartridges in Partitioned Libraries” on page 152 for details.

Library resources have been removed from a partition.

A host connected to the library does not have a partition assigned to LUN 0.

Note – This procedure verifies only one partition at a time. If you need to verify multiple partitions, you must repeat this procedure separately for each partition.

1.Select Tools > Partitions.

2.Click the Design (Step 3) tab.

The Design (Step 3) screen appears, displaying the current configuration of the library.

3.In the Partition pull-down menu, select the partition you want to verify.

All screen fields are updated to reflect the current configuration for the selected partition.

4.In the Options Bar, click Verify.

The boundaries of the selected partition are verified, including the locations of all tape cartridges.

Note – This verification is performed on the current partition configuration in the SL Console partition workspace only. It does not verify current partition boundaries against the library controller database; therefore it cannot identify configuration conflicts that may arise due to other users performing cartridge movements or library configuration changes—through the command line interface, other SL Console sessions, or host applications—at the same time you have made partition changes.

The Verify Results popup appears, indicating whether there are any orphaned cartridges or other errors in the current partition configuration.
