This is very much an ideal TSM environment in that manual intervention to move tape cartridges has been eliminated. A tip of the hat to the architect!!! This is VERY doable and the only gotcha I can think of is the fibre distance restrictions.

We would locate the 3584 in our offsite storage location and access it via fiber. The tapes would remain in the 3584 since they would already be offsite. Anyone have any experience with a setup like this? Daivd Ehresman University of Louisville
