For logical tape libraries, please look at this excerpt from SG24-5946-06: " Multiple logical libraries are an effective way for the library to simultaneously back up and restore data from heterogeneous applications. For example, the library can be partitioned so that it processes:
- Commands from Application 1 (about Department X) in Logical Library A - Commands from Application 2 (about Department Y) in Logical Library B - Commands from Application 3 (about Department Z) in Logical Library C In this configuration, the storage slots and drives in each logical library are dedicated to that library and are not shared among other libraries. Commands issued by the applications travel to the library through three unique control paths. Thus, the data processing for: - Department X is confined to the storage slots and drives in Logical Library A - Department Y is confined to the storage slots and drives in Logical Library B - Department Z is confined to the storage slots and drives in Logical Library C"
