How to open multiple virtual terminals to a single LPAR

I just wondering if there are ways to open multiple virtual terminal to a single LPAR.
After I have use putty to login to the VIOS. I will use mkvt -id <LPAR id> to open console but if my friend want to open 2 second one, it will say, VT already connected.

IS there a way to work this around ?

Thank you for reading.

No there isn't. You are actually using the console. You would be much better to use ssh to remotely login to the LPAR then you can have as many sessions open as you need.
