Hi Everyone,
Currently our AIX TSM servers are lpars with all physical adapters (separate
physical HBAs for disk and tape, and physical NICs networking). Next year we
will be rolling over a couple chassis to new ones, and upgrading to AIX v7.

I never said 32 drives. In fact, they routinely defined 48 drives per

Yes this will work and we use it now with our LanFree client.
My suggestion would be to create two libraries rather than splitting the drives
in half.
Each library with 32 drives would work.
Ron is correct in suggesting the use of a library manager configuration. This
works best for us.

In the case of a simple filesystem backup (BA), set the RESOURCEUTILIZATION

The problem is that changes are not gradual. Files are actually monthly

Is anyone using AIT5 tape drives?
I don't see them listed on the device support list.
