RE: Tape libraries on IBM i hosting IBM i.

IF you have the attachment cards, (with a SAN switch) then you can just
allocate/deallocate, no real need for VIOS.

I agree VIOS is the better choice, but it can be done without.

For i on i there is not much option. Best idea would be to have a VIOS and
NPIV config.

Then again, a VTL all but solves the problem since they can emulate

multiple libraries on a single device. All that holds that up is the
attachment card on the POWER system.
