Reconfig tape Library MSL 3040

[Kenvil-LHT]

Hi all,

We have 1 Tape Library MSL 3040 with 2 modules: Base (24 Tape Cartridges, 3 drive) and Extention Module (36 Tape Cartridges, 1 drive), I want to do some tests:
- Currently we only configure 1 Partation for all. I want to re-divide it into multiple Partations, is it possible, is there any guide to do this?
- Currently we do not Enable Mailslot, When I proceed to Enable Mailslot, the warning system "Configuring the mailslot affects the following partitions: Partation exists that I mentioned above". How does Enable affect an existing Partation.
Looking forward to everyone's advice.

If you enable the Mailsots, the Library loses the Tape Slots, which are now used as Mail Slots.

The Partition needs to change as an effect of new Slot Numbering with fewer Tape Slots.

Creating Partitions is done by the Web GUI of the Libary.

For me, Partitions make only sense, if multiple Backup Servers share the same Libray.

Please consider, that every Partition needs its own Slots and Drives exclusive.
