they have a setup here with 2 TSM servers, each being a master of their library for the other. Storage pool backups occurr to the 'offsite' library mastered by the 'other' TSM server.
It is awkward in that should work need doing to one library or machine, even just a simple audit library, then the activity on both servers needs to be stopped before it can happen. It also puts a twist in the plot for managing scratch tape levels etc..

Backup Env Info 2 TSM Servers Running on p630's TSM ver 5.2.x Both Server using the same 3494Lib with 8x3592 FC Drives Zoned to each TSM box , but robot is being shared by both TSM Servers We are looking at setting up Library Sharing between both Backup Servers. While it sounds great, the downside we are struggling with is that if the TSM server that is the Library "Master" so to speak is not available then the other TSM server sharing the library can not access the library. Is anyone else using library sharing? If so what are your experiences...
