Assign USB devices to LPARs
The USB device is exclusively used by the active LPAR to which that device is assigned
with no assignment mode. Moreover, if the USB device is in the exclusively-shared mode,
its assignment can be dynamically changed without deactivating operation among
multiple active LPARs that are activated after that USB device is assigned.
Assigning USB devices to LPARs
Assign a USB device on the PCI Device Assignment screen. E is displayed in the Schd
field for the USB device used in the exclusively-shared mode as shown below.
Deactivate the LPAR to assign the USB device. A USB device can be assigned to multiple
LPARs as other PCI devices.

When an exclusively-shared USB device is assigned to multiple LPARs, the LPAR
activated first can use the USB device and the other LPARs activated later cannot use it.
To change LPARS to use the USB device, execute the procedure to change LPARs that is
described later in this manual.
