3494SHARED

Edit online

The 3494SHARED option specifies whether an IBM® 3494 library can share applications other than IBM Storage Protect.

The default is NO, meaning that no application other than IBM Storage Protect can share the 3494. When you set this option to YES, for every mount request, IBM Storage Protect determines if each drive is in use. After the query completes, IBM Storage Protect selects an available drive that is not in use by another application. Enable sharing only if you have more than two drives in your library. If you are currently sharing an IBM 3494 library with other applications, you must specify this option.
