If your IBM® System p® hosts use AIX® operating system version 5.2 or later, the SAN Volume Controller allows you to SAN boot the operating system over Fibre Channel from a SAN Volume Controller VDisk.
You must use the subsystem device driver path control module (SDDPCM) multipath driver to use SAN boot. Create an appropriately sized installation VDisk and map it to the host. Proceed with the installation per the AIX installation instructions and, when you are prompted, select the previously defined VDisk as the target installation disk.
