Rob,

On your NWSD to the guest LPAR do NOT restrict the tape drive (
RSTDDRVRSC Parm ) either by name, *ALLTAPE or *ALL.

Now vary OFF the tape drive on the host LPAR.

The drive should appear and be available to the GUEST lpar, simply
vary it on.

Should be as simple as that.

Twist: IBM recommend that you have your guest's disk on a separate
v-SCSI channel from Tape and Optical which means that you need TWO
NWSDs
configured and to do that you need TWO vSCSI pairs between the guest
and
the host. I configure the first NWSD to have the disk on it and
configure RSTDDRVRSC(*ALL) on that one. For he second NWSD I append the
letters "TO" (for Tape and Optical) to the name to keep it straight in
my head [ SO NWSD one might be GUEST1 and the other GUEST1TO ] Now
you can Vary off the ..TO NWSD should you need to make changes and you
won't upset the guest LPAR.

Also personally I do not use Power Controlling on these type of
LPARs.

Hope that helps!

Power 6 with 7.1 TR5.
I've got HOST lpar with 2844&280D fiber tape card in an 0595.
Can I share that with GUEST lpar other than dynamically moving those
two
cards? That's not too hard to do, just looking at alternatives.

Can I somehow ?virtualize? this so that both can be saving at the
same
time?
