Hello TSMers,

who has knowledge or experience with this topic?
Is it possible, to use the same tape library for NDMP backups from two
NetApps without access from the TSM server to the tape library?

The TSM admin guide says:
"When the library is attached directly to the NAS file server, the Tivoli
Storage Manager server controls the library by passing SCSI commands to
the library through the NAS file server."

But is this also possible with two NetApps?

I know you can do this if you are able to partition your library. Most
libraries can do this these days even though there is only one robot.

This does mean, obviously, that drives and slots can not be used or SEEN
by both netapps at the same time. You would be able to repartition the
library but there would need to be a rediscover process so that the
client ie Netapps can see the new configuration.
