Before we went to an LPAR setup we had two Iseries that were both connected to the same tape library. The first system would perform its backup, vary off the device then the other system would vary on the tape drive and complete its own backup.
This setup works great.
Now these two systems have been moved to an LPAR system. The previous backup scenario no longer works because it takes human intervention to move the tape resource between partitions.
There are 3rd party vendors that make software that can help automate this; however, this approach requires more $$$$. Are there any other methods to accomplish this task that can be done in house?
Thanks in advance...
