Yes, and you'll smack yourself once you see it.

On TSM1, you've already defined a SERVER 'TSM2'

The interesting characteristics of this SERVER are;
- SERVER name
- HLA [ip]
- LLA [port]
- node name
- virtual volume password

If you define another SERVER with identical HLA and LLA, but different node
name, then you have separated the two data streams.  The second node can be in
a separate management class, with copygroups headed for the other device
class.

Addition:
TSM1 ---> COPYPOOL2 -----> TSM2A ---> 3583L1POOL
