Question #20

An administrator wants to share a fibre attached TS3100 tape library between multiple IBM i 7.1 partitions. The system contains a PC #5774 - 4Gb fibre adapter and uses an IBM fibre switch. All IBM i partitions are hosted by VIO Server (VIOS).
How could the administrator configure the sharing of the tape library?

A. Create a script that can be called after each backup job in a partition finishes, which will move the fibre adapter to the next partition

B. In the HMC, select the VIOS partition, then select Operations - Schedule Operations - Options New. Create a new Scheduled Dynamic Reconfiguration operation to move the fibre adapter between partitions.

C. In the HMC, select the host Power System, then select Operations - Schedule Operations New. Create a new Scheduled Dynamic Reconfiguration operation to move the fibre adapter between partitions.
