Helo TSM-ers,
thanks to Karel Boss and others, who responded I finaly setup library
sharing for my lto 3583 library and two TSM servers.

FYI, I used following steps:

1. I defined LTO library and drives to TSM server on AIX (librarry manager
with name "tsm") using standard steps (as local library) with parameter
shared set to yes in libr. definition
2 I defined device class and storage pools on library manager
3. I setup server-to-server communication between TSM server on AIX and TSM
server on Solaris (library client with name "alien")
4. I defined LTO library on library client (Solaris) with identical name as
on library manager using command
    define library lto3583 libtype=shared prim=tsm
5. On library manager I defined paths to drives for library client with
commands:
    def path alien lto1 srctype=server desttype=drive library=lto3583
device=/dev/rmt/0st
    def path alien lto2 srctype=server desttype=drive library=lto3583
device=/dev/rmt/1st
6. I defined device class and storage pool on library client as usualy
(with maxscr > 0)
7. I setup domains, policy sets, management classes and copy groups and
nodes as usualy

In my opinion, the TSM documentation (Administrators guide) is wrong.
According to doc, I should define drives also on library client and this is
not in TSM 5.x  possible.
I think that IBM people, who wrote documentation forgot to change this from
documentation for TSM 4.x , where this was necessary (there were no paths)

Thanks to all who responded and helped me to resolve my problem.

Regards
