Tony,

We aren't doing this but I'm pretty sure it's possible since IBM published
a Redbook on the subject. I read it sometime ago when I was consulting at
another account, and I think it will tell you exactly how to go about it.
The manual you want is SG24-4409-02 Guide to Sharing and Partitioning IBM
Tape Library Data. It's available on the WEB at www.redbooks.ibm.com;
simply search on SG24-4409 to find it.
