Re: Move a tape drive to another partition

Thanks Paul. I'll give it a try once I figure out what else is on that
adapter. I should be OK because the people who setup the system were doing
this during testing.

Art,

I've done this often.
You don't move the tape library, but the IO adapter that the library is
attached to.
Note, ensure that the adapter driving your tape library doesn't have any
disk drives attached also, or you will crash your system.

1) Vary off library on source LPAR
2) On HMC, source LPAR, dynamic partitioning, physical adapters, move or
remove, select, in my case, 8 gb dual port fiber channel adapter, pick the
LPAR being moved to.
3) Takes about 2 minutes, wait for adapter to report in on target.
4) Vary on libarary on target LPAR

Subject: Move a tape drive to another partition

I have a 8202-E4D that hosts 2 mimix backup partitions and a dev
partition.

I need to do a full save on the partition that doesn't have the tape
library attached to it. It's a TS3100.

Can I use the HMC to move the tape device to the other partition? I was
looking around the options and I don't see it.

I realize I can screw up a lot of stuff in there but if I can identify the
tape drive I should be OK.
