Doesn't it depend?
If she wants to dedicate certain drives to certain TSM servers,
she can do that simply with the functions built into the 3590 library.
Piece of cake, we do that on all our libraries.
If she wants to connect the drives to both the AIX and Solaris
host at the same time and have them ~share~ the drives, she would need
to use the TSM library manager function so that each TSM server knows
who is using the drives at any time.
Right?

Nope...just have to assign different private/scratch categories on the
second server from the first.
The 3494 as it's own built-in library manager that can handle (I think)
32 attached hosts.
