RE: Can a 5746 internal LTO-4 Tape drive be shared or movedbetween partitions?


Hmmm. OK then. All I have to do is figure out which controller to make "desired" as opposed to "required" without affecting the RAID controller talking to the 5886.

Thank you.

Thank you Pete.  As a follow-up question, I was told that
this is only
valid if the CEC (system unit) has no internal disk.  Is
that true.  
It doesn't seem to make sense if it is true.

This is true - and it makes sense.

It works like this: You can't switch tape drives. The HMC
doesn't know about tape drives - the HMC knows about
controllers. If the controller is attached to a tape drive
and several hard disks, switching the controller to a
different partition would switch the disks too.
