Is this where you have a physical NIC in one LPAR and then run across the internal VLAN to the other LPARs?
We have that on our to-do list when we get up to v7.1r3. This question was for fiber for tape backup. I had only thought about
the technique for Ethernet and not fiber to a switch to a library.

We don't run vios yet we can virtualize our network connections.

Thanks, but problem is to few slots so for all LPARs to have their own
fiber cards.
No plans to run VIOS.

Does your enterprise have a fiber switch? If so, I recommend a second
fiber card and routing them both through a switch to that tape drive. We
run multiple lpars off of one tape library in one city and the other lpars
in a different city off of one other library. Both use a switch.
Failing that, can you split that by virtualizing the connection? We do
that with some lan connections but we've not tried it with fiber
connections.

Does anyone know of sample code that will help me automate the swap of my
fiber card(s) between partitions? I would like to be able to incorporate
something into my BRMS routines.
Thanks
Doug Hart
