I'm looking for a second opinion, caveats and any "we've been there
(and its good/bad)" about tape sharing . Sharing that's NOT SAN stuff.
In speaking with a level 1 (1.5-2!) TSM/3466 support person about
something else, we got around to the topic of 3590's cabled to two systesm
and he said I could have all four tape drives (3590-E1A's) online to both
3466 NSMs and they will just go into POLLING mode until a drive becomes
available. AIX/TSM can play NICE-NICE with shared drives!!(??!)
And all I need to do is put 3494SHared Yes in both server options files.
Does this work? Work well? Any hang-ups? Crashes? Gothchas??
As long as I scheduled things so that there's little or no drive
contention does it work?
thanks ... joe.f.
