Per the Redpaper cited below:
"Sharing of the IBM 3494/3590 Tape Library does not require nor use the Tivoli
Storage Manager 3.7 tape library sharing support." ...
"The 3494 does not require and is not supported by Tivoli Storage Manager 3.7
library sharing because the 3494 has its own library manager and does not
support SCSI commands for library control."
From my ADSM functional directory:
3494, partition/share TSM SAN tape library sharing support is
only for libraries that use SCSI
commands to control the library robotics
and the tape management. This does *not*
include the 3494, which uses network
communication for control. Sharing of
the 3494/3590s thus has to occur via
conventional partitioning or dynamic
drive sharing (which is via the
Auto-Share feature introduced in 1999).
There is no dynamic sharing of tape
volumes: they have to be pre-assigned to
their separate TSM servers via Category
Codes.

SAN Tape Library Sharing".
