Its been a long time since I've worked with 3494's.  But I don't think you even 
have to partition them.  You just have to use different category codes for the 
different systems.

Hi Steven

A TSM library manager isnt mandatory in a 3494 library environment. If the 
libraries are partitioned, he can just connect his two hosts to each library 
and assign access through the 3494 CU.

Which is simplest is just a matter of how the existing environment looks. If 
the libraries are already partitioned for the two hosts, no TSM library manager 
is needed, just make an entry for each library in the ibmatl.conf and assign 
access in the 3494 CU.

if the libraries are not partitioned, and there is limited 3494 competence 
on-site, perhaps TSM library sharing is the way to go. It all depends on Gary's 
requirements (like, can we share volumes between the two TSM servers, or do 
they need to be divided).

Best Regards

Gary

A library manager is mandatory to coordinate library access.  Than can be a
standalone instance or the existing instance that has exclusive access (the
latter being the easier option with an environment of this size)

Thanks
