Dwight -----Original Message----- From: Joshua Bassi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 10:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 3494 Partitioning or TSM Library Manager All, I am deploying 3 new TSM server on a single p690 LPAR. There is a 3494 with 32-tape drives attached to the system. I have a choice to make whether to use the old 3494 category scheme to separate my 3 TSM servers or should I use the TSM Library Manger feature to control access to all 32 tape drives? First of all, how many customers are using the Library Manager feature of TSM? What kind of caveats are there in deploying this feature? How well does the automatic tape drive allocation work? Thanks in advance. -- Joshua S.
