■ Other Partitions (red). Resource is allocated to another partition and therefore
NOT available to the selected partition.
■ Cartridge (cartridge icon). Resource contains a tape cartridge.
Library Map
Graphical representation of the current library configuration. Initial display for the
current SL Console login session is from the library controller database, then the
display reflects data from the SL Console partition workspace as you modify
partition configurations. The display includes the following information:
■ Types of modules installed in the library (Base Module, drive module, storage
module)
■ Numeric module ID (1–5)
■ Media configuration for each module (mixed media or LTO only)
■ Location of all resources (storage cells, tape drives, CAP cells) within the library
Note – Move the cursor over any resource to display a tooltip of detailed information
about the cell or drive, its partition assignment, and the identity of any resident
cartridge.
Note – If no partition IDs have been defined, the library map is display only.
Use the library map to modify the boundaries of the selected partition. Depending
on whether you have clicked the Add or Remove radio button, all selected resources
are either added to or removed from the partition.
Depending on your choice in the Select by field, you can perform any of the
following actions.
■ Select by cell—Select individual or groups of resources. Resources in a partition
do not need to be adjacent to one another.
- To select an individual resource, double-click it.
- To select a rectangular group of resources, click the cell or drive at one corner
of the rectangle, and then click the cell or drive diagonally opposite.
■ Select by side—Select an entire side within a module, except the CAP. Sides in a
partition do not need to be adjacent to one another. To select one side of a library
module, click any resource in that side.
■ Select by module—Select an entire module, except the CAP. Modules in a
partition do not have to be adjacent to one another. To select a library module,
click any resource in that module.
