Scalability is much easier to handle if you think in terms of several
smaller TSM servers.

Sharing a library in such an arrangment is possible, but in a large
environment, tape drive throughput becomes an issue. Consider a separate
library for each TSM server, or possible a large disk farm for a primary
pool and a shared library for the offsite storage pool. (Hi, Scott!)

yeah listen to mark and the other guy, they are correct and know a lot
more than me.  same backplane IO wise so better to have many, than one.
