In the 'old days', it non-Enterprise was limited to 18 slots and 2 or 3
drives.  It may have changed.  You could have the hardware there, but TSM
would just not use it.  Getting the 'Enterprise' license also now days
allows DRM if I remember correctly.

I think that is a question that only your sales rep could answer. And if
they told me I could get buy wity only using 3 slots, I'd want that in
writing!

        G'day all

        We are looking into expanding the library a couple more slots,
and have run into the ever popular 'enterprise' 40 slot dilemma.
        We currently have a IBM 3583 library with 2 lto1 drives and 2
columns installed (36 slots) Running TSM 5.1.92.
        Question I have is, can we just get another column (18 slots)
and only use 3 and stay under the enterprise line? Or does just having
the extra column put us over whether we use it or not?

TIA
K
