One tape drive for two partitions

What does it take to use one 3581 tape drive to backup two partitions on a 
9406-520? 

We were led to believe that we would have the hardware to make our 3581 
switchable when we first engaged a BP to configure an LPAR; but are told now 
that a script will have to be written that will cost several thousand dollars. 
This is not a very common script that's just boilerplate?  Isn't using one tape 
drive for more that one partition an overwhelming desire by most shops?  IBM 
hasn't included this functionality in the HMC?
