Jim,
basically your understandig is correct, I want to note only one thing, we
tried to set the same
scratch category for our both servers sharing an 3494, but this is
definitely not possible because
of TSM databases could come out of sync when handling volumes.
There is a redpiece SG24-6132 on the http://www.redbooks.ibm.com site, this
book covers Library
Sharing in more detail.

Subject: V4.1.1.0 Library Sharing
> I recently installed TSM V4.1.1.0 for AIX and was looking at the library
