Opened PMR with IBM.
It was determined that when I created my NWSD back in Dec 2015, I left RSTDDEVRSC(*NONE) default to *NONE ; should have been RSTDDEVRSC(*ALL)
CRTNWSD NWSD(P061) RSRCNAME(CTL04) TYPE(*GUEST *OPSYS) PTNNBR(1) PWRCTL(*NO) TEXT('Pencor06 vSCSI 1')
When the (5) NWSD were varied on, 2 632C OPT devices were created for each NWSD, one for OPT01 and one for OPTVRT01.
This resulted in the 10 OPTNN 632C on the client lpar.
The OPT02 through OPT11 devices are of type 632C which means that they are virtualized from a host partition. Each new NWSD virtualized the same 2 optical devices from the host and the duplicate virtualizations are causing problems with the optical because when a volume is mounted to the optical on the host, the client partition will see the same volume in 5 different devices.
Recommendation to resolve is to power down PENCOR06 (client partition), vary off the NWSD and then change the RSTDDEVRSC(*ALL) on all but one of the NWSDs. If you do not want any tape or optical virtualized from the host parition, then you can specify RSTDDEVRSC(*ALL) for each of the NWSDs. Then vary on the NWSDs and activate your client partition.
Future CRTNWSD should have RSTDDEVRSC(*ALL) specified.

I found that the date/timestamps for these are close to matching, same day, time off by a bit.
Are these related, or coincidence?

Well Frankie had that many when the SCSI address on the Optical drive was set incorrectly. Sadly they all were the same PHYSICAL drive so insering a disk and closing the drawer caused that media to appear in every drive. It then ejected immediately because all but one were duplicates.
So I might surmise that you have an optical drive problem here. Can you look at them to see if they have the same serial numbers by chance?

For devices OPT01 thru OPT11.
Recovery . . . : Ensure that optical device OPT02 is varied on and
try the
request again. You may need to eject the cartridge and re-load it.
What is causing this?
How do I resolve?
I don't have this many OPT devices.
What created these.
