Question 12: A customer has a Power System with multiple IBM i partitions and needs to share a TS2270
amongst them.
What is the best method to share the drive and keep costs low and take advantage of their IBM i skill
set?
A. Add the SAS adapter to each partition to connect to the TS2270.
B. Add a VIOS partition for virtual tape.
C. Create NPIV connections to virtualize the TS2270.
D. Create vSCSI connections to virtualize the TS2270.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
IBM TS2270 is a Tape Drive.
Optical and tape devices are configured to be used by IBM i client partitions by creating a
Virtual SCSI server (VSCSI) adapter in the IBM i server partition and a VSCSI client adapter in the IBM i
client partition.
Note:
Client virtual device support allows multiple IBM i partitions to share the devices without needing to
use dynamic logical partitioning.
An IBM i server partition that is running IBM i 6.1 or later on an IBM i Power System,
POWER6 or later, can share a natively attached optical device or an IBM i virtual optical device
(optical image catalog) with multiple client partitions that are running IBM i 6.1 or later.
