We are on split/dual licensing for the same reason. We have . Yes, we had to setup a separate TSM server and moved the PVU licensed nodes there. Also we installed ILMT and those on the PVU server have the ILMT agent installed.
I never heard anything about separating / isolating the tape library. Can't think how that would make sense since the whole point of PVU is that storage occupancy doesn't matter and for the other nodes under storage licensing, we simply run their queries for primary storage totals. Nowhere does it matter where the storage is or how many offsite copies we make.
