Re: 5704 Tape GURU question (Yes Jim you may answer :o)

I was sharing a beer with Jim Oberholtzer last night talking about our IBM 
2109-F16 fiber SAN switch that we use to interface between our 5704 cards 
and 3582 tape drives.  We use it to allow multiple 5704's to talk to the 
same 3582.  The lpar's take turns by varying off the device.  However it 
sounds like you want the same 5704 card to talk to multiple tape drives. 
Then the question becomes, if you set it up that way would it 
automatically create multiple devices (and/or libraries) and do you then 
vary them all off except for the one you want to talk to?  Or is there 
some external interface, (other than the browser) to configure the 2109 to 
turn off/on some configuration.  I don't know.
