That's exactly what i was thinking, but i am getting conflicting information 
from veritas support itself. some tech say yes and some no. I would try it, but 
i have two librarys in different offices, so before i tear one config a part i 
want to make sure i can do it. 
I will let you know when veritas tech will give me call back with information.
Thanks Mark.
Oleg
