Hi Drew,

    You can support multiple library managers (not recommended).  You can
also support a Library manager and other tsm instances that are configured
to individually talk to the same library.  However, you will need to make
sure that each manager or instance that accesses the same library has a
different private category and scratch category from the other instances,
otherwise you will have contention and/or access issues.  Lastly, you can
define one instance as a library manager and all other instances as library
clients so that the manager will allocate tape and library resources on an
as needed basis.  Good luck.

The command to define a library manager to a library client is:

define library sangroup libtype=shared primarylibmanager=astro

Doesn't "primarylibmanager" imply that you can have a secondary/redundant
library manager

Can you?  I don't seem to see any documentation on it.

Shawn
