Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Library manager question

Haven't tried it, but I'm quite eager to hear what from you once you're done. 
It doesn't seem to be very complicated to implement and I've always wondered 
why TSM requires a restart when changing anything in the library configuration 
(or deleting all paths, all drives the library and then rebuilding everything, 
imagine doing that on a LM or a TSM server that shares 18 drives with 9 NAS 
filers ;-) )
