Assign a CAP Pool to a Partition

Assigning a CAP pool to a partition to gives the partition the ability to use the CAPs to import and export tape cartridges.

Note:

A non-partitioned library only contains a single default pool always assigned to the default partition and you do not need to follow the procedure below.
You can assign the CAP pool to a partition when setting the partitioning attributes for the partition. Each partition can have only one CAP pool assigned to it. However, you can assign a CAP pool to multiple partitions.
  1. Click Partitioning in the left navigation area of the GUI.
  2. Select the partition in the table, and then click Edit Partition Edit Partition icon.
  3. Select a CAP pool from the CAP Pool Name drop-down.

    If the CAP pool is already assigned to a partition it will become a shared CAP pool. There are special considerations you must take when using a shared CAP pool.
