Mixed-media libraries require library partitioning, with one media type per partition. See HP StorageWorks Interface Manager and Command View TL users guide to learn about and use library partitioning. Removable magazines are also required in a mixed-media library. - Page 71 These requirements impact library operations in the following ways: • If you convert panel 1 only to a new media type, neither load port can be used to insert or remove media from that panel. Because the left and right load ports are on panels 2 and 5, they must have the same media type as the rest of panels 2 and 5.
