Tape libraries, like disk subsystems, can be shared among several servers. In tape library
sharing we distinguish between static partitioning of the tape library and dynamic tape
library sharing. In static partitioning the tape library is broken down into several virtual
tape libraries; each server is assigned its own virtual tape library (freezer inventory software). Each tape
drive and each tape in the tape library are unambiguously assigned a virtual tape library;
all virtual tape libraries share the media changer that move the tapes cartridges back and
for between slots and tape drives. The reconfiguration of the assignment of tapes and tape
drives to a certain virtual tape library is expensive in comparison to tape library sharing.
