This is not a exact TSM case but we are having a extremely difficult time finding anyone with authority in these matters within IBM.
We intend to install TSM with PASE on a new iSeris machine. This is the only reference we found. on This white paper "IBM LTO Tape Library Sharing White Paper V2" "Since every iSeries server (AS/400) IOP/IAP has to have a library control path, and the 3583 has only one library control path, only one iSeries server (AS/400) SCSI bus can be attach to a SCSI 3583. LTO support for the iSeries server (AS/400) is limited to one drive per SCSI bus. This means that the a SCSI 3583 library attached to an iSeries server can only contain one tape drive. In contrast, the Fibre Channel 3583 can have up to six tape drives attached." This customer is VERY close to a decision, but I will not order anything until everything is crystal clear. That will save us a lot of grief in the long run. My questions Please comment on the following statement from the white paper from a iSeries point of view. Is this a iSeries hardware or OS limitation? Is there any chance this has changed in V5R2?
