Hello all, I recently was lumbered with the unenviable task of teaching myself how to configure a P570 with VIO servers and several LPARs. As you can imagine, I'm still very much learning but so far I have worked out how to configure, and have got running - 4 LPARs, with two VIO servers at the back end configured to use SEA failover on them, and MPIO configured at the LPAR level to give disk resilience over the two VIOs.
The problem I have is that I also have a TS3310 tape library that I'd like to be available to all my LPARs so I can back them up on a timed basis. At first I assumed I could virtualise it, but it seems I can't so I'm now presuming I have to script the DLPAR operations (with some logic for locking the device to an LPAR if it's in use) to move the library at set time slots to back up each LPAR onto.
Is there any reference material available, or sample scripts, to help me learn how to achieve this please?
Many thanks for all your help in advance, great forum and very interesting reading for a newbie like me.
Marc.
