A move from a cartridge slot to a drive on the same rail would be the fastest ✘ A move from a cartridge slot on the top library rail to the top magazine of the CAP would be the fastest ✘ A move from a cartridge slot in one library to a drive in another library would be the fastest ✘ All moves would take the same lime to perform. ✔

Makesurethat each rail has the correct amount and type of cartridges plus enough scratch cartridges to support the workload. ✘ Install redundant robotics to support maximum activity for each rail. ✘ Migrate the least recently used cartridges away from the tape drives. ✘ Cluster cartridges by workload on separate rails with enough drives to support the maximum activity for that workload. ✔

A subset or portion of an entire library that presents itself to a host client as an independent library. Slots and tape drives included in one partition cannot be
seen by another partition. ✘ A subset or portion of an entire library that presents itself to a host client as a library partition.Slots and tope drives Included in one partition cannot be shared by another partition. ✘ A subset or portion of an entire library that presents itself to a host client as an independent library. Slots included in one partition cannot be seen by anotherpartition, whereas drives and CAPs can be shared by the entire library. ✘ A subset or portion of an entire library that presents itself to a host client as a library partition.Cartridges included in one partition cannot be shared by another partition, whereas slots and tape drives can be shared across multiple partitions. ✔

CAPs can only be shared by partitions with the same host interface type (FC-SCSLor HLI). ✘ Whole rotational or AEM CAPs can be allocated for exclusive use by one partition, or they can beshared by multiple partitions. ✘ All CAPs in a partitioned library are unallocated by default. You use the SLC screens to allocate CAPs as dedicated or shared. ✘ A portion of a CAP can be allocated to a partition. ✔

It is a remote operator panel to the tape library provided through a graphical user Interface (GUI) It allows for a centralized point of control for multiple libraries and back-up applications and efficiently shares library resources with any application on anysystem. It runs on a PC and connects to the library via Ethernet connection (TCP/IP). It allows you to consolidate multiple application dedicated libraries into one centralized library or a string of libraries accessed via a single point of control.
