Why?

In order to accomplish this, you're going to have to install a set of TSM
BFFs, and then copy things somewhere else, then install a different set.  I'll
bet you my whole $.02 that IBM regards this as an "unsupported configuration".
I don't know exactly where you'll see problems with it, but I bet you will.

Furthermore, when you encounted even a normal problem, I'd anticipate that IBM
support would positively freak out.

I've been doing multiple TSM servers on the same hardware for almost 2 years
now, the documented procedures work quite nicely.  My recommendation would be
to reconsider your plan.
