I did the same thing 3 years ago. I was using RMM instead of CA-1.
z/OS with a TMS would automatically check in volumes.
I have schedule a administrative command to run once a week to check in
the volumes
checkin libvolume library-name search=bulk checklabel=barcode
status=private waittime=0
Learn JCL and batch scheduling.
Create linear VSAM files for all TSM pools. Each TSM pool file will be
limited to 4GB on a 3390 volume.
Forget everything you learn about TSM library manager, most mainframes
will have RMM or equivalent to manage the Tape library.
Cannot use LTO or DLT tape drives.

You can assign a different management class to full and differentials.
I have defined them to different tape storage pools.
One policy domain with multiple management class define

This needs to be coordinated between the exchange administrator and the TSM

You can have multiple Storage Group backups in parallel. It depends on the
