Subject: [ADSM-L] convert standalone server to library client?

Can a standalone TSM server be re-configured to be a Library Client?  We
are not using library sharing on our 3584 ATLs now. Our TSM servers are
at version 5.5.4.1 on RHEL 5.

We have server to server communications setup between two Data Centers.
So, the offsite Copypools are on the local 3584. Offsite database
backups are also written to the onsite ATL.  

My purpose in converting the standalone server to a Library Client would
be to use library sharing in a Disaster Recovery. One Library Client
would be the current onsite server. The other Library Client would be a
standby clone of the offsite TSM server. Ordinarily, it would not be
running. If the offsite Data Center were lost, I could restore the
database of the offsite server to the second onsite library client.Then,
it could share the local tape drives to restore offsite clients rebuilt
locally. 

The stumbling block seems to be that tape volumes must be checked-in to
the Library Manager. There already are several hundred tape volumes in
private status on both standalone servers. How would I tell a new
Library Manager that those tape volumes were owned by the new Library
Client? 

If there is a way to convert a standalone TSM server to a Library
Client, I would be grateful to hear of it. If this idea looks like Swiss
cheese, and smells like Limburger I would like to know that too.

With my thanks and best wishes,
