Please give your TSM server version & platform when posting, you'll get
better results.  I can only assume that "NT" here is a Windows box and you
are running at least TSm 5.4.  You also don't say whether you intend to
backup the NAS via Lan-Free or TCP/IP; they are quite different

I don't understand why you are creating a new logical library in the TS3500
for this instead of using the existing one; but since you are doing it this
way, SOME TSM server has to own library CAPEKLIB2.  It's not clear from your
post whether you want NT to own it also, or N6 (which presumably is also a
client of CAPEKLIB1, which is allowed).

But I'm assuming you want it to belong to N6, non-shared:

a) use the library web interface to create a "control point" on a drive in
logical library CAPEKLIB2.
b) zone the library & drives so they are jvisible on the SAN to N6
c) In Windows Device Manager, right click and select "scan for new
hardware".
d) In the TSM Management Console Device Driver window, you should now have a
new lbx.x.x.y and new drives mtx.x.x.y.

Then you can do your DEFINE LIBRARY.
