Two ways to set this up: 1. Two separate TSM server sharing the library: use different categories and be careful. 2. Have one of the servers act as the library manager. The second asks the first for resources and tape mounts, etc. The first server knows about all of scratch volumes, same categories. See library sharing documentation. You also need a license for this option.
Option 1 with the 3494 is probably the way to go. Unless you have SAN attached drives. Then use 2 so you can share the drives between the two servers. IMHO. Kelly J.

I was curious if there are others doing that with a 3494 ATL. From what I can tell you can share the 3494 atl resources between the two servers, meaning the tapes and the drives by specifying a primarylibrarymanager. Do you use the same scratch and private categories for the tapes used by both servers? Jim Sporer
