We have a 5704 fiber card. Currently the fiber goes to an IBM 2109-F16
SAN switch. From there to a tape drive.

Is it possible for one 5704 card to have two tape drives in the same zone,
and to back up to them at the same time?

For example
ZONE1
LPAR_1_5704_1
TAPMLB01
TAPMLB02
and have a SAV going to one and a SAVLIB going to the other at the same
time?

Now, if that is possible, is this possible:
ZONE1
LPAR_1_5704_1
TAPMLB01
TAPMLB02

ZONE2
LPAR_2_5704_1
TAPMLB02

and if LPAR1 is done with it's save can LPAR2 now do it's save? Or can I
not have one device (TAPMLB02) in two zones?

We routinely do this
ZONEA
LPAR_1_5704_1
LPAR_2_5704_1
TAPMLB01
and when lpar 1 is done then lpar 2 can have it's way with it. Both
lpar's have their own 5704 card. No vary off/on needed. Just leave them
varied on.
