An architect is designing a new POWER7 implementation consisting of a VIO Server (VIOS) and 6
AIX partitions.
AIX partitions need to occasionally access a tape drive for restoration and backup of application
data and tape access will not be required by more than on partition at any time.
The performance of the solution is not critical and the architect wants to keep the cost to a
minimum.
Which of the following configurations will address the architects requirements?

A.
Allocate a SCSI tape drive to the VIOS partition.
Virtualize connections from the tape drive to the AIX clients using vSCSI.

B.
Allocate a FC tape drive to the VIOS partition.
Virtualize connections from the tape drive to the AIX clients using NPIV.

C.
Allocate a USB tape drive to the VIOS partition.
Virtualize connections from the tape drive to the AIX clients using NPIV

D.
Allocate a SAS tape drive to the VIOS partition.
Virtualize connections from the tape drive to the AIX clients using vSCSI.
