Will doing this effect the actual, live data on the production server, since they see each other? I was concerned it would try to release tapes and such.
By covertly sharing the real tape library inventory, you're playing with fire, as the test TSM goes to use "expired" tapes for database backups and any other server scheduled or triggered events. That server may also adjust the settings of tapes in the library, out of sync with what the real server is doing. Interesting situations may result. Richard Sims
