Sharing the volumes out using a script may work but it is still prone to
'human' error. You need to define each of the libraries on each TSM servers
to have separate scratch and private categories.
For example :
Library 1 definition :
Library Name Library Device Private Scratch External
Type Category Category Manager
------------ ---------- ---------------- -------- -------- --------
L3494 349X /dev/lmcp0 300 301
Library 2 definition :
Library Name Library Device Private Scratch External
Type Category Category Manager
------------ ---------- ---------------- -------- -------- --------
L3494 349X /dev/lmcp0 500 501
This is the only way that you can avoid a library grabbing tapes from
another library.
I hope that this helps.
