Library Features
This section describes several features of PowerVault ML6000 libraries.
User Interface 3
The operator panel is located on the front door of the 5U Library Control
Module and allows you to work locally on the library via the user
interface. The Web client allows you to view and perform library
functions from remote sites and is accessible through a browser. The
operator panel and Web client contain a similar user interface and
functionality.
See Chapter 4, Understanding the User Interface for more information
about the operator panel and the Web client.
Partitions 3
Partitions are virtual sections within a library that present the appearance
of multiple, separate libraries for purposes of file management, access by
multiple users, or dedication to one or more host applications.
Organizing the library into partitions divides the resources into virtual
sections. Partitions can be used to control access to portions of the library
by granting permissions to user accounts to access certain partitions.
For more information on partitions, see Working With Partitions on
page 71.
Note: Tape drive filler plates must be in place for the library to
operate at normal speed.
