Abstract
A method for modifying a logical library configuration from a remote management application which reduces the number of separate UI display panels a user has to view, and also reduces the number of pages requested from the server. A single UI display panel displays a configuration of all logical libraries of a similar media type in the single display panel. The configuration of all logical libraries of a similar media type can be modified within a configuration range, wherein a modification of one logical library results in the display panel displaying the effects of the modification on other defined logical libraries. For each separate logical library, the single UI display panel displays its allocated number of drives, its allocated number of storage slots, and its allocated number of control ports. The validity of a selected configuration is checked by automatically adjusting the hardware allocation of other effected libraries whenever the configuration of one logical library is changed.
