Yes, but it's not very fun.  You have to reconfigure ADSM to know that you don't
have the tape library anymore, then watch for the tape mount requests, which can
really add up.  However, if you don't have the library, that's what you have to
do.

If you don't have the time to do it right the first time, where will you find
the time to do it again?

Hello,

We just bought a 3494 library with brand new 3590E Magstar Tape drives.
I would like to know if it is possible to restore our ADSM configuration on
a remote site with just a 3590E tape drive and an operator who'll switch
the tapes manually or do we need a library.

Thanks in advance,
