Tape library shared but not drives
The following figure shows an example of zoning when the LT140 is shared by two servers. In this case, all the
servers use the same backup software, and the LT140 is shared by the functions of this backup software.
However, the drives are not shared but individually belong to each server. Only one server controls the LT140
controller.
