Well I am sorry to say NO.  I have quit a few of these and have found no way
to do put multiple DLT4700 into one ADSM library.  The problem is that each
DLT4700 has its own library device and in an ADSM library you can only define
one library device to each ADSM library.  Thus reclamation has to be done
manually.  You can use some scripts to do some of the for you.  Out on one
of the ftp server is sdreclaim which does an ok job of automating this.  It is
written in REXX I think.  We have taken it and rewrote it in PERL and added a
couple of things to handle multiple tape libraries.
