1) No it is not possible with SCSI based devices, but it is possible with Fibre Channel attached devices.
2) Each instance of TSM maintains it's own disk pool, tape devices (unless you are using the TSM library manager/client feature), and tape volumes. -- Joshua S.

First, is it possible to connect a SCSI tape device to a Win2000 client (ver 4.2.3) and have our in our TSM server (AIX 4.3.3.) recognize it? If so, how? Second, I know that we can establish a connection between multiple instances of TSM servers, is that connection scalable between OS like Windows to AIX and vise versa; meaning that each instance of TSM will be able use the same tape media and swap data if necessary.
