Subject: VM path not operational

We are installing VM for the first time on our IFL. We are to the backup
step but the tape drive is offline. I tried "vary on path 71 to b10" and get
a path not operational. A "query path b10" comes back:
Device B10 status OFFLINE
Chpids to device...  71
Physically available  +
Online                -

I set the CHPID offline in VSE and rebooted the controller, tried vary on
but that did not seem to help. I can share Escon attached tape between
LPARS, correct? What do I need to do to get VM to bring this path online?

Thanks in advance
