1. You have to upgrade to 3590E1A. 2. The library does not have to be exclusive to TSM. You can share it with other systems, as long as the other system does not want exclusive use. For example lots of shops share their 3494 library between OS/390 and TSM running on W2K, AIX and other supported platforms.

I have 3494 TL with 4 3590B1A drives. Is it SAN ready? Can I able to connect this tape drives (3590B1A) on the IBM SAN? Or i need to upgrade the drive to 3590E1A to provide SAN Connectivity. Is this library exclusive use only for ADSM/TSM software? thanks in advance, Zosi Noriega ADNOC-UAE
