I'm currently using SL8500 like this:

1) zOS
        1.1) HSC - shares 9840a,b and c drives for zOS hosts
        1.2) LibStation -
                1.2.1) TSM LIBM for LTO3 (no clients) - shares LTO3 for servers 
ans stagents 1,2...N
                1.2.1) TSM LIBM for LTO4 (no clients) - shares LTO4 for servers 
ans stagents 1,2...N

This setup works very weel with no issues at all.

But, since we're decomissioning the zOS, next month I'll have 

1) ACSLS
        1.1) TSM LIBM for LTO3 (no clients) - shares LTO3 for servers ans 
stagents 1,2...N
        1.2) TSM LIBM for LTO4 (no clients) - shares LTO4 for servers ans 
stagents 1,2...N 

Hope this works fine too. 

Could any of you share any warnings you may have regarding this setup ?

Thanks

Do you currently use TSM Library Manager with ACSLS?

There isn't anything that TSM's built-in library management has that Gresham 
offers. Indeed, getting multiple TSM instances resync'd with Gresham can cause 
(temporary) inability to use the library during that resync. Stability isn't 
usually an issue with either TSM library management or Gresham. Gresham 
requires additional administration that TSM's library management doesn't need.

And TSM's library management doesn't have an outrageous price tag.

(You'll still need to use ACSLS, of course.)
