Operating Systems AIX Spliting PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter Post 302125494 by dukessd on Thursday 5th of July 2007 04:26:08 PM

Vscsi sadly only supports disk and optical devices (CD / DVD) at the moment, i.e. tapes are currently not supported.
You could be brave and script the dlpar operation, then schedule a backup on one LPAR, then give it time to finish, scripted DLPAR the adapter to the other LPAR and then back that up. Use cron or similar to run the backup in the window that the LPAR has the adapter for.

Which SCSI Adapter?

NAME
siop -- Symbios Logic/NCR 53c8xx SCSI driver SYNOPSIS
hp700 siop* at mainbus? irq 3 siop* at phatomas? irq 3 PCI siop* at pci? dev ? function ? options SIOP_SYMLED scsibus* at siop? DESCRIPTION
The siop driver provides support for the Symbios Logic/NCR 53x8xx series of SCSI controller chips: - 53c810, 53c810a and 53c815 (Fast SCSI) - 53c820, 53c825 and 53c825a (Fast-Wide SCSI) - 53c860 (Ultra SCSI) - 53c875 and 53c875j (Ultra-Wide SCSI) - 53c876 (Dual Ultra-Wide SCSI) - 53c885 (Ultra-Wide SCSI and Ethernet) - 53c895 (Ultra2-Wide SCSI) - 53c896 (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra2-Wide SCSI) - 53c1010-33 (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra160 SCSI) - 53c1510d (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra2-wide SCSI) The SIOP_SYMLED option causes the driver to report SCSI activity on the GPIO pin 1, which is connected to the activity LED on some adapters. At this time only the 53c895 based Symbios and Tekram adapters are known to require this. If both siop and the esiop(4) drivers are compiled, esiop(4) will take precedence for controllers it supports. SEE ALSO
cd(4), ch(4), esiop(4), intro(4), pci(4), scsi(4), sd(4), st(4), uk(4) HISTORY
The siop driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.5. AUTHORS
The siop driver was written by Manuel Bouyer <Manuel.Bouyer@lip6.fr> for NetBSD. BUGS
siop supports the 53c1010-33 in Ultra2-wide mode only. Use esiop(4) for Ultra160 support. BSD
