Re: OPT1481 - Add optical disk cartridge failed to complete successfully

And there you go! Exactly as I suspected: "Follow those v-SCSI paths." :-)

Glad you figured it out. Note that with i 7.2 as the host you can do 
Restricted OR Allowed. Allowed is MUCH nicer. :-)

Each new NWSD virtualized the same 2 optical devices from the host and the duplicate virtualizations are causing problems with the optical because when a volume is mounted to the optical on the host, the client partition will see the same volume in 5 different devices.

If you do not want any tape or optical virtualized from the host parition, then you can specify RSTDDEVRSC(*ALL) for each of the NWSDs. Then vary on the NWSDs and activate your client partition.
