Logical partitioning
From the BS2000 viewpoint, a tape library with two drives looks like two separate devices;
it is "logically partitioned" in X2000. This partitioning is performed automatically and cannot
be configured. The slots are assigned to the devices as evenly as possible, the last
(second) drive possibly being assigned one slot more.
Example
Partitioning an ETERNUS LT40 S2 tape library with magazines and two drives:
Table 5: Left-hand magazine
Table 6: Right-hand magazine
The slots shown against a white background are assigned to the first drive. The slots
shown against a blue background are assigned to the second drive. The cleaning slot
(mailslot 3) is not permanently assigned.
In BS2000 mode it must be borne in mind that the two tape devices use the same robot to
load and unload the cartridges; wait times can occur here. The two logical devices are also
always in the same operating status. It is not possible to operate one device in Random
Mode and the other in Sequential Mode.
Generally most settings are valid for both logical devices.
In the OCP menu Configuration > Library Settings you set the drive (Master Drive) via which
the library commands are passed. This setting is important when a drive (or cable) fails:
When the master drive fails, the robot can no longer be controlled (and the device
●
consequently quits Random Mode).
