Standard Features
This section describes several features of Scalar i40 and Scalar i80
libraries.
User Interface The operator panel is located on the front of the library 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 each
contain a different user interface and functionality.
See Chapter 3, Understanding the User Interface for more information
about the operator panel and the Web client.
Partitions 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. If one of the resources is not available due to a failure or other
cause, the other partitions and their assigned components are still
available. Partitions can also be used to control access to portions of the
library by granting permissions to user accounts to access certain
partitions (see
Privilege Levels on page 81 and Creating Local User
Accounts on the Web Client on page 82).
For more information on partitions, see Working With Partitions on
page 51.
Control Path
Modification
The control path tape drive is used to connect a partition to a host
application. Only one tape drive can be selected as the control path at
one time. By default, the first tape drive assigned to a partition is
designated as the control path. In the event that the control path
connection to the host application fails, you can select a new control
path for the partition. See
Configuring Control Paths on page 67.
