Re: Virtualizing External LTO with TR2 and above

Kirk, I believe what you could do is add a vary off of your tape drive on
lpar a when your save completes. You could do a rtvcfgsrc, check the
status if offline or online. Once the status is off then it is up for
grabs on either lpar. To vary it online then on lpar b would be the
interesting scenario, maybe use DDM or FTP to run a command or ?? based on
the final rtvcfgsrc results.

I was reading on line that with V7R1 and TR2 you can virtualize an External
LTO Tape Drive in a IBM i with IBM i Guest Partitions. If I read it
correctly you simply vary it off where it is vary it on where you want it.
sound good for a manual operation or a timed set of cmds.

So if I needed to send a cmd to another partition what is the best way?
Assuming I don't need to wait for a specific time to save LPAR B and LPAR C
I want to start the save of LPAR A and as soon as it ends Start LPARB and
so...
