Re: IBM i guest of IBM i host doesn't find tape drive

Have you moved on from this or are you still trying to find a
reason/solution to the tape drive issue ?

What ended up resolving this issue ?

Nothing.

Specifically, I was never able to get the tape drive to virtualise via
the NWSD / vSCSI pairs. I used the HMC to move the SAS controller to
the other LPAR and used it that way.

Interestingly, I was able to use a 128GB thumb drive to do a SAVSYS on
the P7. It took up about 42GB and 5 hours of my life :-)
