Is your interest in sharing the FC adapter so you can share disks? The problem is, I do not believe that a tape library and tape drives are sharable in this fashion. If you want to share disk, use separate FC adapter for this, shared out through the virtual scsi of the vio server. Use

What happens during a copy is that any data that has not been copied is copied. So, for your example, the second copy on Tuesday morning will copy all files that have changed since the copy ran on Monday. Think of it more as a sync up than an incremental. For example, if a copy pool tape gets
