Hi, Paul. TSM Shared libraries don't support ACSLS, just SCSI and 3494. TSM ACS support is enough if you're going to dedicate drives to each machine. Otherwise you'll need EDT to share drives among servers. I believe it's the same for SAN clients, but I'm not certain of that.

We have a STK 9310 library with 9940B drives. The goal is to move this library to a SAN environment, with a TSM server (on *NIX) controlling the library and a number of lan-free clients doing their backups to the 9940 drives. To accomplish this, is TSM's ACS support enough or is another solution (Gresham's EDT) needed?
