Issue/Introduction

How can I configure Vantage to share the same TS7700 data set between all LPARs?

Environment

Vantage

Resolution

Running the DI scripts on one LPAR and sharing the data set's output with other LPARs will avoid having to rerun the scripts on each LPAR.
Also, the scripts must be set up on one LPAR and the parameters set up accordingly as defined in Configure Virtual Tape Systems

On the other LPARs, only the parameter DIPFX must be coded and nothing else implemented unless a backup solution is requested. By default these scripts do not load and execute, so do not forget to activate and load them and to deactivate the previous delivered TS7700 scripts.

Using the same DIPFX parameter on each LPAR having a shared HLQ alias permits allowing TS7700 data sharing.
