Well, not quite.
What you do is allocate unprotected. That way any of the partitions
can grab a tape device as needed, then release it when it's done. To
set a tape device so it is exclusive to a partition you would allocate
it protected.
So, you must allocate them to start with.

Jim,
We have FC cards on each LPAR connected with a FC switch to the tape
library.
All drives in library available to either LPAR, with the correct zoning.
No need to allocate/deallocate.

IF you have the attachment cards, (with a SAN switch) then you can
just allocate/deallocate, no real need for VIOS.
I agree VIOS is the better choice, but it can be done without.

For i on i there is not much option. Best idea would be to have a VIOS
and NPIV config.

multiple libraries on a single device. All that holds that up is the
Then again, a VTL all but solves the problem since they can emulate
