This is exactly what we intend to do, and for the same reasons - our two
existing TSM servers are in the same AIX image, and we have the two
servers in order to keep the DB sizes down.  Our third, library manager
server, will also be in this same AIX image.  It's just the transition
that I'm trying to sort out - I either have to move all the clients out of
our current library manager server to a new server, or I have to move the
library inventory to a new server...whichever is the least hassle.  I'm
thinking that moving the library inventory is the way to go, messy though
that appears to be.
