I've not tried it yet, but NPIV should work OK. TSM wouldn't know the underlying connectivity.
Not forgetting the strong recommendation NOT to share disk and tape traffic down the same HBA.

Can this partition use TSM LAN-free backup in any way? (tape, GPFS, SANergy,...) How about if the client uses NPIV? If yes, is NPIV virtualization completely transparent to TSM/SAN equipments?
