When you use a 3494 you already *have* a library manager.
Just allocate different categories for AS400 and TSM.
I had a 3 bay 3494 with two 3590E drives SCSI connected to an AS400 and 4
drives connected to a P690 running TSM.
Worked fine. Just had to do a little operator training to sort out the two
sets of check-in/check out processes.

Currently, BRMS has a 3494 and TSM has its own (in different locations). We are
bringing the AS/400s into this data centre. The AS/400 people WILL NOT share
the library unless we get "proof" that it can be done successfully. (Sharing
will take less floor space and give us high availability for the same cost.)
Note, we are probably not interested in a TSM agent for BRMS. We still want to
keep these two beasts off each other throats. So, we are simply looking for
other datacentres that have BRMS and TSM sharing a PARTITIONED 3494.
If TSM can act as a library manager for BRMS (i.e. easily share drives) that
would be of interest also.
If you can help, I'd appreciate it; and if you don't mind, the AS/400
people would probably like to converse with you later.
Thanks in advance.
