Re: Saving GUEST and HOST lpar at same time.

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Methinks Rob is getting into this LPAR thing a bit deep for the middle 
of the week......

Maybe I'm reading this wrong but you ask about saving both at the same 
time but then discuss liking two separate saves?

You can go either way:

    IF you shut down the GUEST and the NWSSTG objects are flagged 
ALWSAV of *YES then you get both in a SAVE 21. Nice for DR but NO 
Granular restore for the GUEST - All or nothing.

    IF You leave the GUEST running and either omit /qfpnwsstg or flag 
the objects ALWSAV *NO then your save 21 of the host will not contain 
the guest storage. At the same time (if you have two tape drives AND are 
a glutton for I/O abuse) you could be saving the GUEST to another 
drive.   If you have only one tape drive (which I am guessing from 
earlier notes.) then you can save the one, and then save the other.  
Just don't do what one of my customers did: Attempt to use the same tape 
for both SAVE 21s. Oops.
