This option enables sharing of an IBM 3494 library with applications other than Tivoli Storage Manager. The default for this option is NO, meaning that no application other than Tivoli Storage Manager can share the 3494. When you set this option to YES, for every mount request Tivoli Storage Manager determines if each drive is in use. After the query completes, Tivoli Storage Manager 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.
