Do you already have a fiber SAN switch in your computer center? If so,
and you can load two fiber cards (one for each lpar), you can avoid all
the hardware switching. Our resource TAPKVL01 is connected to multiple
lpars at once this way.

Whatever you do, do NOT get multiple SCSI cards and plan on unplugging the
cable from one card to another. SCSI cable pins from IBM are very
susceptible to bending and IBM really blows a gasket on you if you expect
them to replace that cable for nothing. I told the boss that if he wanted
me to keep switching cables he was going to have to call IBM on site to do
it, I wasn't moving SCSI cables anymore. We went fiber. And hardware
normally doesn't frighten me - I've often hot removed cards from our
biggest lpar during busy parts of the day.
