Hello,
library sharing for SCSI libraries and library sharing
for 3494 libraries are two separate things in TSM.
Library Sharing for SCSI libraries requires that you
define the library as follow :
define library mylib libtype=scsi shared=yes ... (library manager)
define library mylib libtype=shared primarylibmanager=... (library
client)
Library Sharing for 3494 libraries does not use the library
manager/client configuration as described above. It needs
the "3494SHARED YES" server option instead.
You still need to use separate categories for the different
servers as I stated before otherwise you may end up with
two servers having the same private/scratch volume in the
library inventory, for example.
What 3494 library sharing brings is the ability to define all drives
to all the servers sharing the 3494. The TSM server will
detect if a drive is available and will retry based on the new
retry options that were added in 4.1 (DRIVEACQUIRERETRY
and MPTIMEOUT options).
Hope this helps clarify the issue.
Have a great day !

The TSM 4.1 announcement indicates that the TSM 4.1 library sharing
feature now supports 3494 libraries. So thankfully we no longer
need to "logically" partition the library.

Hello,
indeed, with TSM 4.1, you can share a 3494 library
with the 3494SHARED server option. However, you
still need to "logically" partition the 3494 by making sure
to use separate categories for scratch and private
volume between the different servers.
Have a great day !

With TSM 4.1 you CAN share a 3494 without partitioning it.

Doesn't TSM 4.1 allow the sharing of a 3494 between multiple TSM servers
without partitioning it?
