Hi,

using of large disk stg pools minimises tape unload/load cycles which is
important in such situation

if you can afford two tape drives (you do can configure one tsm manual
library
consisting from more tape drives as opposite to impossibility of definig one
tsm library consisting of more (hw) tape libraries)
then you have no problems at all

if you have one tape drive only then some workarounds for tape2tape
operations are necessary

generally speaking - it works like a breeze, I had it with v3.1 2 years ago
and am about to configure newest version this way soon
