Re: Tape Library Sharing 2nd Time

You do checkins and checkouts on the library server. To let the library
manager know that a tape belongs to a client do an audit library from that
client. I don't remember if the path function came in 4.2 or 5.1 but if you
have paths then you only define on the server not the client.
Steps 1 - 6 look correct, not sure on 7 and 8 needs to be done on the
library server. Then follow up with an audit library and you should be set.
Good luck
