> I recently installed TSM V4.1.1.0 for AIX and was looking at the library
> sharing feature.  The documentation was a little sketchy and it talked
> about san sharing of a 3494 over a scsi connection.  The information about
> the 3494 was in the README.SRV file, not in the Administrator's
> Guide.  From what I was reading the feature is suppose to allow you to
> share the tape drives in a 3494 between two ADSM servers.  If a drive is
> allocated to one server the second server would allocate a different drive
> if one is available and wait if one is not.  So if I wanted to, I could
> have two adsm servers and they could share a 3494 ATL with 6 3590 drives,
> all 6 drives would be allocated to both ADSM servers and the servers could
> figure out which drives to use.  I would use a different set of tapes for
> each ADSM server with different scratch and private categories.  Am I
> interpreting the documentation correctly?
