Hallo Alex,

     I've just installed two SUN E450 using TSM 4.1.2 sharing one IBM 3494
with 800 slots 3590E cartridges.

You cannot share all tapes for both servers. You have to define different
categories during library definition on each server. Then check in a number
of volumes into each library. You will see only the volumes belonging to
that server.

So, it's not really library sharing, only for drives. But you can
check-out/check-in scratch volumes, if it is nessessary.

Thema: TSM and 3494 Library Sharing




Hi All

I would like to know if anyone has got two TSM SUN servers sharing one 3494
library. Everything is working fine and the new Fibre attach drives are
working very well. My question really relates to how I differentiate
between the volumes in the library. I have 3 frames and need to split the
columns equally between the servers. I have changed the categories at both
libraries and now the other library does not see the volumes.

The following is info about the site.

TSM for Sun Solaris 4.1.2.0   X2
E220R Servers            X2
3494 L12 D12 S10         X1
Fibre Attached 3590E          X4

Any Info at all would be helpful.

Regards
