Re: LPAR issue

You can not share raid arrays, or ethernet cards, but you can share tape 
drives. We have machine with three partitions, and one tape drive.   You just 
define the bus as shared, and then you can swap the IOP between all patricians. 
Obviously two partitions can't use the IOP at the same time.

is this also the case with "fractional LPARs"? I can have 0.2 CPU for
one of the LPARs. Must I also then have 0.2 tape drive or 0.2 RAID
array? Good question, Joe.
