You can run TSM with only a single drive, but then you will have a
problem doing reclamation and make it more difficult to create a copy of
your tape pool, for off-site. The A/E feature is a licensing feature. It

You would have to partition the library and in the case of a 3583 you
cannot partition the library. If you had a 3584, then you could
logically partition the library giving each TSM server some cartridge
slots as well as some tape drives.
