I have a 3582-L23 tape drive.  It has two fiber attached drives.  Both
drives are attached to my iSeries thru a 2109-F16 into two 5704 fiber
cards.
I want to configure this as a single media library to use in TSM as a Copy
Storage Pool.  I want to be able to do a
backup stg backuppool lto_3582
where backuppool is our current disk storage pool, and, lto_3582 is this
media library.  When it does this, I want it to write using both of the
drives in the 3582 at the same time.
I assume the steps are:
1 - Configure the 3582 using steps from the book "IBM TotalStorage Ultrium
Tape Library 3582 Setup, Operator, and Service Guide".
2 - Hope the reboot of the 3582 autocreates a new TAPMLBxx on the iSeries.
 If not, configure that.
3 - In TSM, configure the copy storage pool to use this new media library.

One, is this possible?  Or can a single media library only use one drive
at a time?

tsm 5.2.2 for iSeries PASE.
