Kirk,
Same card is not same drive. I said no rmtX device (drive) can be
assigned to multiple vhosts at the same time. If your library has
multiple drives then go ahead. But if it's only multiple paths to the
same drive and AIX/VIOS sees it like that and therefore creates a
single rmtX device you'll hit that problem anyways.
Best Regards,
Roberto

SAS ports. I

Rob,
Already asked years back.
A BRMS volume can only be owned and used by one LPAR (system).
I wanted to use the same volume for all my nightly backups,

Kirk,
Have you thought about submitting a DCR, or a COMMON
requirement,
1600savesallow
BRMS to stack multiple lpars onto a single tape?
IDK if we could use that as I would be concerned about timing
the
on
each lpar.

Because we Stack our backups from multiple LPARs on a single tape
Thanks Inight we can't use BRMS ans SEQ. Mode works just fine for us.
Days.probably won't hear back from Techline for Several More Business
