You can't use them for native z/VM work ... they are not supported devices.
You can attach or dedicate them to zLinux guests ... they can be used by the zLinux guests to do zLinux work.

And if yes, are there any zVM utilities (DDR, SPXTAPE, etc) that support LTO4s? Or is LTO4 support while attached to a FCP limited to zLinux? Or does zLINUX even support LTO4s?
