logical library its own separate and distinct drives, storage slots, and control paths.
You can partition the library into as many logical libraries as there are drives in the
library. Each logical library must contain at least one drive.
Note:
This type of partitioning is designed to allow heterogeneous applications to
share the library robotics independent of each other. Cartridges under library control
are not shared between logical libraries, nor allowed to be moved between logical

application
uses the drive and slots of another logical library.
