This thread has strayed. There's no special magic here. On the client server, you define the library as SHARED. That's how it knows. Then you run CHECKIN on the Library Manager. Just remember: The Library Manager owns the LIBVOLS and the DRIVES, and the Library Client owns the VOLUMES.
It's all pretty well described in "TSM Administrators Guide". It even contains a step-by-step procedure for doing exactly what you are doing. The only tricky part is knowing which TSM server (manager or client) you need to run which commands on. Get that right and everything just works, though when I did it, I had a strong feeling like I was the proverbial restaurant waiter who pulls the tablecloth out without disturbing the place setting.
