We are using it for SAP documents and archiving. It has it's own tsm software server but shares a physical server with 2 other tsm software servers and the commonstore server instances (4). We have disk pools, optical pools, and tape pools. We have a domain for each Commonstore Instance. I keep each Commonstore instance in it's own directory tree so I can upgrade one without upgrading the others. For our production commonstore instance depending on the requirement and the frequency of recall we have management classes that point to disk which drain to optical and then drain to tape with all being backed up to tape copy pool. We have management classes that point to optical and then drain to tape with tape copy pools and then we have management classes that go straight to tape with tape copy pools.
We are using a 3494 as our tape library for this but with our other tsm servers we share both the 3494 and the 3584. I found with the 3584 it was easier to have one of the servers be the master and the others the client for the tape library. It does mean that if tsmsvr1 (master) is down then no one else can use the tapes but it made it simpler because when I need drives for Commonstore I don't necessarily need them for backups and vice versa.
