Thank you Pete. ÂAs a follow-up question, I was told that this is only
valid if the CEC (system unit) has no internal disk. ÂIs that true. ÂIt

This is true - and it makes sense.

It works like this: You can't switch tape drives. The HMC doesn't know
about tape drives - the HMC knows about controllers. If the controller
is attached to a tape drive and several hard disks, switching the
controller to a different partition would switch the disks too.
