Correct and there shouldn't be any paths on the client systems. Only the library
manager needs the paths.
You need to setup paths from the library manager to itself and then to the other
library clients.
We are using this setup with 19 TSM instances accessing a TS3500 library and two
library managers.

There are no drive definitions for the "remote" library in the library
client, and therefore no element numbers or paths to check. There is a
path in the library manager that connects each of the tape drives to the
library client, and as I mentioned there is obviously some communication
going on.

Here's another question that has been asked...

When a library client sends migrated data from disk to a tape drive
managed by a library manager, does the data flow on fiber from the
client to the tape drive directly, or does it flow across the LAN from
the client to the manager, and then on fiber from the manager to the
tape drive?
