I suppose it revolves around how one defines "partitioning the library":
Hard partitions or soft (by tape label ranges).
We have a Sun/STK SL8500 with ACSLS as the front end and have several
(unrelated) Netback Master servers (and media servers) all using the
library concurrently.
We have not "hard partitioned" it, but rather have a tape range and specific
tape drives assigned to each Netbackup system. We even have several
non-Netbackup systems also using the library.
