Unless you have an incredibly light ADSM load, I can't see you using the
drives in random mode. The problem is that the two drives have to be
separately defined as automatic libraries and then how do you do
reclaims/copy pool???... Anyway, I suggest configure them into a manual
library and run the drives in accumulate mode (better than nothing). Start
saving for a 3494...
