Hi Sue, on a z9 you can use NPIV (http://linuxvm.org/present/SHARE107/S9257vs.pdf). Otherwise you need different "physical" FCP adapters to access one tape same time from two different Linux systems. Accessing the same device from different logical FCP adapters which are mapped to the same physical FCP adapter will produce a "LUN already in use" error message. regards, Volker ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
