Incorrect. The question was about SAN-sharing of disk not tape. "Managed Library" is for *tape* libraries having more than certain ammount of drives and media slots. For disk sharing Tivoli SANergy license is needed and "Managed Library" *is not* required (regardless of number of hard disk drives).
