Hi Yes, you can do this with ACSLS. The L180 doesnt have it's own library manager. This is why ACSLS is required to share the library. If your going to dedicate 2 drives to each server, then ACSLS is all you need. If you want to share the drives dynamically, you also need to install Gresham EDT-DistribuTape on all TSM servers that will use the L180 library(including Storage Agents).
EDT-DistribuTape will also be needed if you want to use LAN-free functionality with the L180. We're not doing this with a L180, but we are doing it with the L700E and the 9310 libraries. ACSLS is a very good library manager, with a single UI and a very stable functionality.

No drive sharing required, just want two drives per TSM server. It appears that the L180 has a single control path. Can I get this done with ACSLS? Is anyone doing something like this? Any advice is welcome. Thanks. William Mansfield [EMAIL PROTECTED]
