Hi Li!
It depends. If you are doing LAN-free to a similar device, then you do not
have to use separate adapters.
However, when you are doing LAN-free to tape or to storage which requires a
different device driver, then you will need separate adapters. IBM does not
support disk and tape I/O through the same adapter, nor do they support
multiple device drivers through one adapter.
Kindest regards,
