Partition Design and Commit Screens

96116 • Revision: KA Chapter 6 Library Partitioning 221

The library temporarily drops all connections to HSC or ACSLS hosts when partition

configurations changes are committed. The hosts will automatically reconnect, but

multiple error messages will be displayed, and cartridge management tasks in progress

may fail.

Caution – Information in the SL Console partition workspace is saved to the library

controller database only through the Commit (Step 4) screen. If your SL Console

session ends or you refresh the workspace data before you have committed your

updates through the Commit (Step 4) screen, you will lose any partition changes you

have made through the Summary (Step 2) and Design (Step 3) screens and all

associated popups.

Caution – It is recommended that you follow the Resolve Orphaned Cartridges

procedure before using this screen.

Caution – This screen updates the library controller database with all partition

configuration changes you have made during this SL Console session. Failure to use

this screen before logging out of the current SL Console session will cause all your

library configuration changes to be lost.

partition workspace since the last commit.
