When you define the library on the 2nd server MAKE SURE AND SPECIFY A
     NEW/DIFFERENT "SCRATCHCAT" & "PRIVATECAT"...  I just jump 100 for each
     new server added to the atl.  Default 301 & 300 on the first, 401 &
     400 on the 2nd, 501 & 500 on the 3rd, etc...

     Now and again, scan the library's inventory against all attached
     servers and check (both libvols & just volumes) for "lost" tapes.

     NO YOU CAN'T SHARE THE SAME SCRATCH TAPES 'cause of what I mentioned
     above... the library is defined with different scratch codes for each
     server... to flip flop scratch tapes between the two servers just do a

     cp /dev/null ckoutmac
     cp /dev/null ckinmac
     for TAPE in $( dsmadmc -serv=serv1 -id=x -pass=y q libvol | grep
     Scratch | cut -c18-23 | head -25 )
        do
        echo checkout libvol library1  $TAPE checklabel=no remove=no >>
     ckoutmac
        echo checkin libvol library2 $TAPE checklabel=no status=scratch
     devt=3590 >> ckinmac
        done
     dsmadmc -serv=serv1 -id=x -pass=y macro ckoutmac
     sleep 60
     dsmadmc -serv=serv2 -id=x -pass=y macro ckinmac

We are in the process of installing a second ADSM server. We want the second
server to use the same ATL used by the first ADSM server (sharing ATL). Any
suggestions or recommendations or warnings.
Note: I like to know if we have to define a defferent tape range or we can
share the same scratch range.
