Hi If your 3494 is partitioned, the shared library is not required.
Shared library is only when you are sharing a library between two TSM servers, using server-to-server communication(where one server is the library manager, and the other server is the library client). The 3494 has it's own library manager, and Shared library license is not required. However, if you were to use library sharing within TSM, the license would be required. Difference between 3494 sharing, and TSM library sharing: 3494: - different scratch pools for each server - One server cannot access another servers volumes - Handled by 3494 Library Manager TSM Library Sharing: - Common scratch pool - Client/server relationship - Handled by TSM Best Regards Daniel Sparrman ----------------------------------- Daniel Sparrman Exist i Stockholm AB Propellervägen 6B 183 62 HÄGERNÄS Växel: 08 - 754 98 00 Mobil: 070 - 399 27 51
