If your channels are ESCON/FICON you simply share you DASD/TAPE amongst all the LPARs. If you have any parallel channels, then you put each LPAR that would need them in an Eligible list in the IOCP. Then you can "Reconfigure" the channel from one LPAR to another. It's basically a logical move of the cables. :)
