It may be "cleaner" to partition the library into 2 different virtual
libraries (assuming your library has this option). We have a scalar
i500 and 2 networker data zones. We have half of the drives fiber
connected and zoned so only one of the data zones can see them, the
other fiber connected drives are zoned so only the 2nd data zone can see
its half.
Each zone see's only its drives and has its own partition. The only
problem we run into is that we can't partition the I/E station (cap
door). This functionality is available on the i2000 though.

Subject: [Networker] Storage Node Member of Multiple Data Zones
Can a storage node be a member of multiple data zones?
Ultimately, I'd like to have my test tape library primarily function in
my
test environment. However, I'd like the ability to have it function in
the
production backup system should it be needed. ASSUMING that you CAN
have a
storage node be a member of multiple data zones, I would have the
storage node
(with attached tape library) exist as a storage node in each data zone
and
then have it enabled in only the environment/zone that I need it in.
If/when
I need it on the other zone, I'd disable it in the first zone and
enabled it
in the second.
If there's a better/alternate way in doing this, please let me know.
