Hello Daniel

Yes, you are 100% right.

I suppose I was coming from the position that Gary already had most of it
setup for a TSM library managing config, as the existing instances appear
to be managing a library each.

As is often the case, there are multiple ways to achieve the desired
results.  Which is one if the benefits of this list :)

Thanks

Steven
