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.

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.
