Hi Drew, You can support multiple library managers (not recommended). You can also support a Library manager and other tsm instances that are configured to individually talk to the same library. However, you will need to make sure that each manager or instance that accesses the same library has a different private category and scratch category from the other instances, otherwise you will have contention and/or access issues. Lastly, you can define one instance as a library manager and all other instances as library clients so that the manager will allocate tape and library resources on an as needed basis. Good luck.

I don't seem to see any documentation on it.
