Hi, 

     Does anyone know of the number of NT hosts that can concurrently share
a library with 10 DLT7000 tapes?  Is there an officially supported number or
is it based more on rule of thumb?  For instance, is there a point at which
drive contention becomes an issue, i.e. you have more hosts sharing the
library than the number of drives in the library.  Would this necessarily be
a bad thing?  Does anyone have a large shared storage option configuration
in production?  Any help is appreciated.
