I do this all the time. You can share the Tape drive and DVD when the
hosting partitions owns them, and the i5/OS guest partition is a virtual
partition. You just need an HMC.

Subject: Can a 5746 internal LTO-4 Tape drive be shared or moved between
partitions?

Everyone,

I have a 8203-E4A with a host i5/OS 6.1 partition. A 5886 external disk
enclosure. No internal DASD. I want to avoid the expense of a 5790
expansion unit to support an IOP and IOA. I would like to have a guest
i5, AIX, and LINUX partitions. Will the 5746 do the job?

Regards,



Dan...
