I have instructions on sharing the tape drive between the two partitions but I think it is missing something because when I move it back to Partition 1, the device name changes and I have to do a bunch of steps to get it back to the original name of TAP01.
Here are the steps I follow:
1.Vary off TAP01 on Production Partition (WRKCFGSTS *DEV)
2.On HMC Console
In the Navigation Area click on Server Mangement
Right click on Production Partition
Choose Dynamic Logical Partitioning
Choose Physical Adapters Resources
Choose Move
Open Bus and highlight
Make sure Logical Partition (on bottom) says ‘TEST3’
Click on ‘Force Removal of Active Resources’
Click OK
3. Takes a few minutes
4. Vary on TAP01 on Test Partition
I reverse this when I want to go back to the Prod partition. When I open the bus, what I am highlighting? All of the entries or just the tape drive?
