11.5. Configuring Electronic Customer Support (ECS) over LAN

A supported WAN adapter can be assigned to the IBM i client partition for ECS. Alternatively,
ECS over LAN can be configured. Consult the topic Setting up a connection to IBM in the
Information Center:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/i5os/topic/rzaji/rzaji_setup.htm.

11.6. Backups

As mentioned above, IBM i as a client of VIOS can use a mix of virtual and physical I/O resources.
Therefore, the simplest backup and restore approach is to assign an available tape adapter on
the system to it and treat it as a standard IBM i partition. The tape adapter can be any adapter
supported by IBM i on IBM Power servers and can be shared with other partitions. To assign an
available tape adapter to the IBM i client partition, consult the topic Managing physical I/O
devices and slots dynamically using the HMC in the Logical Partitioning Guide:
(http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/hw/topic/iphat/iphat.pdf).
Once a tape adapter connected to a tape drive or library is available to the client partition, use the
Backup and Recovery topic in the Information Center to manage backups:

12. DS4000 and DS5000 Copy Services and IBM i

IBM has conducted some basic functional testing of DS4000 and DS5000 and Copy Services
with IBM i as client of VIOS. Below, you will find information on the scenarios tested and the
resulting statements of support for using DS4000 and DS5000 Copy Services with IBM i.
