We ran option 1 for a long time both with twintailed scsi and a san but have now mostly switched to option 2. We shared all of the drives and frequently ran into problems where tsmsvr1 had a drive and tsmsvr2 tried for awhile to use it and then marked it unavailable until I marked it online. With 1 you definitely need different catagories and you have to be careful. It makes it easier if you use 100's for one and 200's for the other because I want to say the number above the scratch is automatically saved for the same systems private or vice versa and it can get you in trouble. The best explaination I have run into on how to set up the library manager is in the LTO Open Redbook and you just modify what you need for 3494.

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.

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
