        Subject:        Multiple TSM* Servers On Same Machine

        Hi all,

        Why would one put multiple TSM servers on a single machine?
        What are the advantages and disadvantages? What are the
        scenarios?

        History:
        We have one AIX system with one TSM server with two libararies
attached.
