Customer's environment: 4_way HYDRA GRID.
Customer has multiple composite libraries tied to the same storage group. So, SMS does balanced distribution of write tape I/O between those composite librarys into the same SMS storage group. The point here is: They want, when necessary, define to SMS to do not select/considere some composite library, into the same storage group, to receive write I/O. It should be something similar to SMS dasd storage group. For the dasd storage group, we have a SMS option to turn some disk volume into the storage group to status DISABLE WRITE.
