Hi, this link can be useful.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&uid=swg21239546 In many cases people are using VIO server, if this is your case you will need to add hbas dedicates only for LPAR lanfree Backup. With NPIV the HBA presents multiple unique WWNs to the OS, this is a solution to share the Hba among Lpars. Then LPars can be TSM Servers or LanFree Clients. In my opinion, if you need high performance backup you will need to add a number of hbas depending on the performance you needed. It is possible to share disc a tape traffic in the same hba. The problem is you don't get the ,more optimal performance, for not production environment it is cheaper.

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?
