Hi

This depends on how you mean. If you use server-to-server virtual volumes 
communication, one of the TSM servers can have actual connection to the 
device, but the other server(which can be located anywhere from the actual 
device), wont have any SCSI/FC or any other direct connection. It will 
instead use TCP/IP communications to send it's data to the other TSM 
server.

You can also use a file device class instead of a SCSI/FC/other connected 
device.

If none of the above complies, how did use plan to connect the Tape drive?
