As long as you're only sharing the library and not the drives, this is straightforward. The machine with the 3592 drives will have a separate set of categories, I used 400 and 401, which is its way of determining ownership. If you're planning on sharing the drives, you want to set up a Library Manager Server to handle the library and the drives.

Hi all,
A question on sharing a 3494-Library :
We have one 3494-Tape Library with 8 SCSI-Attached 3590E-drives. The Library is connected to an AIX-Server via rs232. The library is only used by TSM.
Now we bought an extension Frame D22 with 4 FC-connected 3592-drives. These drives should be used by a second AIX-server (running TSM). My planning is to connect the second AIX-server via RS232 to the library, and define library and new 3592-drives to TSM. Is this possible and does the library support two servers connected and do I have to define anything on the library side? Do I have to use different categories for each server (even though the used drives and tapes are totally different and not compatible) ?
Thanks for any help
