Moving a DVD drive owned by VIOS

We're setting up a new production box with VIOS. Did install and maintenance on one LPAR now need to move the DVD drive to the other LPAR. Is this still the only way to remove a VIOS owned virtualized DVD drive from one lpar to move it to another? Really?

Deallocating a shared virtual optical device on IBM i
To deallocate a shared virtual optical device, complete these steps:
1. Use the following VRYCFG command to vary off the optical device from IBM i:
VRYCFG CFGOBJ(OPT01) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*OFF)
2. To release the optical device with its virtual SCSI connection to the virtual
SCSI server adapter for use by another Virtual I/O Server client partition,
disable its virtual IOP from the SST Hardware Service Manager. Locate the
logical resource for the virtual IOP, and select the I/O debug option.
3. Select the Reset I/O processor option, as shown in Figure 9-4.
