Hi

It is fine. That is the idea behind partitioning. The robot is shared between to backup applications.

For the details about the partitioning mechanism, you'll need to ask your hardware vendor.

You can check SL3000 User guide cause it has information about partitioning and assigning partitions to hosts:

Adding a FC-SCSI Host Connection

For FC-SCSI partitions, you must add a host connection (HLI host-partition connections are configured through the host library management software).

1. Select the Tools > Partitions > Summary (Step 2) tab.

2. In the Partition Allocation Summary area, select the partition.

3. Click Add Connection.

4. Enter the Initiator (WWPN) and LUN. Each initiator connected to the library must have one library partition assigned to LUN 0.

5. Click OK.

6. Repeat until you have added all required FC-SCSI connections. Each partition can have up to nine host connections, and each host can connect to multiple partitions.
