Neil,
once the storage slots are defined for the logical libraries, by checking in
the volumes the library is addressed, e.g.
by use of the command:
LABEL libvol <libraryname> search=yes volrange=<volumename>,<volumename>
labelsource=barcode checkin=scratch

Thank you again for your help.
One further question. The configuration that i need to implement involves
a mixture of LTO1 and LTO2 drives and relevant media. My concern is the
media. When you import media into the library, how can you ensure that
LTO1 media goes to the LTO1 library and LTO2 to the LTO2 library? I don't
want one grabbing the other ones media.

Hi Neil,
yes, we have separated a library in three logical libraries. You do not
need a license.
Just use the library web interface, go to
Settings -> Library Configuration -> Launch Configuration
Wizard
and select the drives and storage slots for the first and for the second
library.
best regards,

Hi Kirsten
Thanks for your speedy response. Have you actually done this successfully?
Do you need a license to LPAR the library?

AW: [ADSM-L] Forcing certain nodes to use selective tape drives?
Hi,
the 3584 tape library can be configured in several logical libraries.The 4
SCSI LTO1 drives can be configured
in the first logical library with the control path defined on the first
SCSI LTO1 drive. The 4 FC LTO2 drives
can be configured in the second logical library with the control path
defined on the first FC LTO2 drive.
It is possible to configure two libraries within one TSM Server. For each
logical library a deviceclass
and a storagepool has to be defined.
best regards,
Kirsten Glöer

Can anybody help with the following problem?
I have a customer that currently has a 3584 tape library with 4 SCSI LTO1
tape drives configured to a AIX TSM 5.1.9 server. They have asked me to
add an additional 4 LTO2 SAN attached drives to the same TSM server /
library configuration. So in essence the one TSM server will now have 8
drives.
The question that I need to answer is this. Is it possible within the one
TSM server to control which client backs up to which drive? The reason
that I am asking this is that the customer wants to split their production
backups to go to the new SAN drives, and their development backups to go
to the SCSI drives.
My thoughts are that this is not possible from the one TSM server as TSM
will pick a drive at random if all 8 drives are configured within the same
library. I believe that the only way that this would be possible is to
configure two TSM servers to share the same physical library (once it has
been partitioned). Each TSM server will then be configured with a library
a piece, each accessing 4 drives. Backup nodes can then be assigned to the
relevant TSM server.
Your comments / experience would be very much appreciated.
Regards
