The entire magazine must be part of one logical library only. Note: If you have a 2U library with two drives, you have the capability to have two logical libraries. In a fully populated 4U library with four half height drives and four logical libraries, resource assignments will be as follows: v Logical Library 1 will contain Drive 1 and the lower left cartridge magazine. v Logical Library 2 will contain Drive 2 and the upper left cartridge magazine. v Logical Library 3 will contain Drive 3 and the lower right cartridge magazine. v Logical Library 4 will contain Drive 4 and the upper right cartridge magazine.
