Hello Daniel Yes, you are 100% right.
I suppose I was coming from the position that Gary already had most of it setup for a TSM library managing config, as the existing instances appear to be managing a library each. As is often the case, there are multiple ways to achieve the desired results. Which is one if the benefits of this list :) Thanks Steven On 14 December 2011 15:07, Daniel Sparrman <daniel.sparr...@exist.se> wrote: > Hi Steven > > A TSM library manager isnt mandatory in a 3494 library environment.
