1 View your library’s current configuration before removing or
replacing any library modules to determine which partitions may be
affected, which tape cartridges belong to which partition, and
whether cleaning slots are configured within the library module you
are removing or replacing. See Viewing the Library Configuration
Report on page 190.
For example, in Figure 37, the following library configuration may be
observed. Note that there are three partitions configured. All three
partitions share six I/E elements in the 5U Library Control Module.
The library is configured for automatic cleaning and has three
cleaning slots configured in the 9U Library Expansion Module.
• Library_a configured all storage elements in the 5U Library
Control Module, and has one drive configured in the 5U Library
Control Module, and one drive configured in the 9U Library
Expansion Module.
• Library_b configured most storage elements in the 5U Library
Control Module, but references its last storage element in the 9U
Library Expansion Module. This partition has one drive
configured in the 5U Library Control Module and one drive
configured in the 9U Library Expansion Module.
• Library_c configured all storage elements in the 9U Library
Expansion Module, and also configured two drives in this 9U
Library Expansion Module.
