As long as you can split it in to virtual libraries, this is no problem
at all.

Subject: IBM System Storage TS3200

Hello all,

Can I do this?  I want to use the IBM TS3200 Tape library with two
drives 
and attach my iSeries 520 via SCSI using BRMS software  and my Windows 
2003 via SCSI Vertas software at the same time.  I currently have two
tape 
libraries that are both at end of life.  I want to consolidate tapes and

libraries.  Running out of places to put tapes and MS Server backup 
windows are to long.  We will have and HA 520 in place a year end and we

have a DSF/FRS window NAS solution in place now.  So backup to tape will

be less mission critical on both platforms.  Can the TS3200 operate with

both hosts at the same time with problems?

Or does anyone have another solution that works?
