<h2 id="rzahqotppo">Use iSeries tape drives with integrated Windows servers</h2>
|
|
<p>iSeries™ tape drives can perform significantly faster than drives you
|
|
normally attach to a PC server, and you can allocate them to integrated servers,
|
|
therefore providing a faster tape access method than available to PC servers.
|
|
See <a href="rzahqsupporteddrives.htm#rzahqsupporteddrives">Supported iSeries tape drives</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Because multiple integrated servers in the same iSeries system can
|
|
all access the same tape drive (although not at the same time), you need to
|
|
allocate only one tape drive for multiple integrated servers.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Notes:</span></p>
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
|
<li>Although you can dedicate tape drives to the integrated server and to i5/OS™, both systems cannot simultaneously use the same tape drive. The two
|
|
operating systems require different tape formats. You cannot use the same
|
|
tape on an integrated server and on i5/OS without reformatting it.</li>
|
|
<li>If you have logical partitions on your iSeries, the tape drive is allocated to a single
|
|
partition. It cannot be shared by integrated servers that are in other partitions.</li></ol>
|
|
<p>To use an iSeries tape drive from an integrated server you must perform
|
|
the following tasks:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="rzahqitppi.htm#rzahqitppi">Format a tape on i5/OS for use with integrated Windows servers</a>.</li>
|
|
<li>Allocate an iSeries tape drive to an integrated server by varying off
|
|
the tape drive from i5/OS and locking it on the integrated server. See <a href="rzahqftppi.htm#rzahqftppi">Allocate the iSeries tape drive to an integrated Windows server</a>.</li>
|
|
<li>Transfer control of an iSeries tape drive to a different integrated
|
|
server. See <a href="rzahqttppi.htm#rzahqttppi">Transfer control of the iSeries tape and optical drives between integrated
|
|
Windows servers</a>.</li>
|
|
<li>Return control a tape drive from an integrated server so that i5/OS can use it.
|
|
Ensure that you have a correctly formatted tape. See <a href="rzahqntppi.htm#rzahqntppi">Return control of a tape drive from an integrated Windows server to
|
|
the iSeries</a>.</li></ul>
|
|
<p>If you have problems with an iSeries tape drive, see <a href="rzahqptppi.htm#rzahqptppi">Tape problems</a>.</p>
