If you cannot connect the 2nd Unix server to the L25 and it's drives, then you can setup the 2nd server to use "virtual volumes" on the first server. Refer to the TSM Administrator's Guide, Part 4, for information on how to do this.
If your first server has excess capacity, you could just route the workstation backups to it, or define a 2nd TSM server image on it (answering at a different port number). There is documentation for this in the Quick Start guide.

Hello,
First of all, let me preface my post by saying that I am a TSM novice.
I have a Solaris 9 server running TSM 5.2.1, which is physically attached to an L25, LTO tape library. This server is not using any storage pools. It is currently being used to back up a few UNIX servers each night, so neither the server, nor the library are being stressed.
My team would now like to utilize the same tape library to perform backups of their desktop and notebook Windows 2000 /XP systems. They would not be backing up lage amounts of data, only their D:/Documents and Settings directory. I've got another unutilized UNIX server which I've loaded Solaris 9 and TSM Server 5.2.1, which I'd like to dedicate to these PC backups. This system is not physically connected to the library, but is on the same LAN. It also has a small disk array attached (2.1 GB x 12), which I plan to use as a storage pool. I'm not sure where to begin or what the most optimal configuration would be. Please help! Many thanks in advance!
