The IBM® TotalStorage® Enterprise Tape Library 3494 can be shared by as many as 32 iSeries™ servers.
Each iSeries server requires one communications line and one tape drive attachment. With BRMS controlling the 3494 tape library, the cartridges within the library can be shared among any of the attached iSeries servers when you use the common media inventory function of BRMS.
The following figure shows two iSeries servers sharing a 3494 tape library.
