Setting up Device Sharing
Select the assigned device you want to share with other systems. Click the device’s
Sharing icon. The device is now sharable. Sharing can also be enabled from the Device
menu. Only the manager of a device can activate its sharing.
Other systems can now assign the I/O device to their Inventories and patch available I/O
channels. Output I/O channels patched by the manager cannot be shared with other
systems until the device’s manager releases the patches or removes the device from its
inventory.
