Fibre-channel attachment requirements for IBM pSeries hosts

This section list the fibre-channel attachment requirements for IBM pSeries hosts.
This section lists the requirements for attaching the storage unit to your host
system:
v Ensure that you have the installation script files. These files are on the CD that
v Ensure that you have 1 MB minimum of hard disk space available to install the
v Ensure that you can reference the documentation for your host system and the
v For details about the release level for your operating system, see the
Either you or an IBM service support representative (SSR) must perform the
following tasks to install and configure a storage unit:
1. The IBM SSR installs the storage unit by using the procedures in the IBM
2. Either you or an IBM SSR defines the fibre-port configuration if you did perform
3. Either you or an IBM SSR configures the host system for the storage unit. Use
4. Either you or an IBM SSR checks the LUN limitations for the RS/6000 and
Note: The SDD supports RS/6000 and pSeries host systems in a clustering

Fibre-channel attachment considerations for IBM pSeries hosts

This section contain information about fibre-channel attachment considerations for
IBM pSeries hosts.
For up to date information about the servers, operating systems, host adapters, and
fabric connections that IBM supports, see the Interoperability Matrix at
http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/disk/ds6000/interop.html.
The storage unit supports eServer BladeCenter JS20 with blade 8842 when
operating in an IBM pSeries, 32-bit environment.
Verifying the configuration of the storage unit for fibre-channel
adapters on the AIX host system
This topic provides information to verify the configuration of the storage unit for
fibre-channel adapters on the AIX host system.
To verify the configuration of the storage unit on the AIX host system, type the
following command: lsdev -Cc disk | grep 1750
you receive with the storage unit.
