Francisco,

How about installing a small TSM Server on one of your LPARs.  It would be
a library management client to your main TSM server and back up itself and
the other LPARs across the virtual ethernet.  The only local disk you would
need is the TSM DB and log,  backups could go straight to tape just as if
it was a storage agent..

as far as I know, not. VIO servers can only emulate/share disks, not
tapedevices. so you'll need dedicated HBAs for the LPARs that require
tape access.
