Hi guys,

I am in the situation whereby I have to think about DR soon, and need
the best solution.

Here is the story so far:-

I have a TSM Server on an RS/6000 plugged into a 3583 library on one
site. The DR suite is 4 to 500 yards down the road. This has another
RS/6000 with a second 3583 library plugged into it for HA purposes.

What i need to be able to do, when the Primary Server fails over to the
secondary Server (In a HA situation), is to get it to use the second
library.

Both of the two libraries are plugged into to mirrored ESS's, so both
the RS/6000's should be able to see BOTH libraries.

What I was thinking of doing was putting copy tapes into the second
library, and onsite tapes into the first and utilising both librarys at
the same time - can this be done?.

If anyone could give me and pointers here as to the best approach or
any possible OTHER approaches, then I would be forever in their debt!.

Kind Regards,
