Since there was only one response I think I need to give a bit of info to
help with why I'm asking the question.



We have TSM and Veritas here. Not something I wanted but its here. Currently
each reside on their own libraries mainly because one is LTO2(Veritas) and
the other a 3494(TSM). I'd like to start moving TSM LTO this year. We are in
the midst of standing up a DR site and I'm trying to see how we can bundle
this together. So instead of standing up 2 libraries I'd like to stand up
one large enough to handle both the Veritas and TSM backups. I'd like to add
on to what we have here if they could live together nicely.



The 3494 we have is currently shared by the mainframe and 2 TSM servers. We
already know we have to bring up a 3494 at the DR site for the mainframe/TSM
and another for Veritas. I would like however to send part of the 3494 we
have now to handle portions of the TSM backups along with getting hardware
for the IBM. If we stood up an LTO library here to start migrating off the
3494 that is doable. I would then need LTO at the DR site for TSM but would
like to see if a single large enough unit would suffice.



So my original question is still, can a LTO library be shared by both
systems provided they each have their own dedicated drives? Has anyone done
this or think it can be done?



Any information, be it in the form of links to articles or direct knowledge
would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks,

Geoff
