It should have no issues at all. As long as LPAR2's IOP (that has the IOA
which controls the external DVD) is not connected to any IOAs that control
disks, then you can move that IOP/IOA to any partition.

Subject: LPAR: Sharing hardware resources
Greetings List!
I'm planning to share my LPAR2's external optical drive with LPAR3. The
LPAR2 optical drive's IOP/IOA currently seats on system bus 53 which is
owned by LPAR2. System bus 53 is bus shared with LPAR1 and has a portion of
LPAR1's IOP/IOA disks. Question is will it have any impact with LPAR1 if I
outright shared LPAR2's IOP? My partitions are V5R3 running on an 825.
Thanks!
ian
