If the tapes will have different barcodes you may not need to partition.  We 
have a 3494 shared between TSM and BRMS.  Each has its own barcode range and we 
divided the tape drives through zoning.  Just be sure each application checks 
in the correct barcode range.

Subject: [ADSM-L] 3494 Partitioning to share between TSM and VERITAS 
applications

Hi all,

 

We have a requirement to share our 3494 library between our existing
servers (AIX running TSM application) and new windows server (running
VERITAS application).

 

We would like to partition our library so that windows server can have
access to only two tape drive out of 8 drives and pre-assigned tape
volumes. VERITAS application on windows server should not have access to
TSM volumes.  Similarly TSM server should not have access to VERITAS
Tape Volumes.

 

Is there anyone using similar setup? Is there anyone sharing 3494
library between TSM and VERITAS applications?

 

Best Regards

Yashwant Rane
