Monitoring partitions status
If you want to see settings and information for a partition but do not need to make changes, view
partition details. Unlike modifying a partition, viewing details does not require you to take a
partition offline.
To monitor partitions status:
1. From the View menu or in the Managed Views section of the LMC, click the name of the
physical library.
2. On the menu bar, click Monitor
→Partitions.
The Partitions Status dialog box appears with a list of all logical partitions in the library and
information about each partition.
Table 31 (page 128) describes the elements on the Partitions Status dialog box.
