If you set up a library manager/library client configuration, the
library will never know the difference, since all requests to the
library are sent by the library manager.

There are no category codes for the 358X library family. If you
physically share the library between multiple servers you would have to
dedicate drives to each server. If you do the library manager/library
client setup, you don't have that issue. The library manager decides
which drives are being used and transfers data and metadata to the
library client machine. Just follow the directions in the TSM
Administrator's Guide on how to set it up.
