This section provides an overview of the requirements for
attaching the SAN Volume Controller to
an Apple host system running Mac OS X v10.5.x.
The requirements for attaching the SAN Volume Controller to
an Apple host system running Mac OS X v10.5.x are as follows:
Check the LUN limitations for your host system. Ensure that there
are enough fibre-channel adapters installed in the server to handle
the total LUNs that you want to attach.
Ensure that you have the documentation for your host system and
the IBM® System
Storage SAN Volume Controller Model 2145-XXX Hardware
Installation Guide.
All SAN Volume Controller publications
are available from the following Web site:
Ensure that you have installed the correct operating system level
and any updates.
Review device driver installation documents and configuration
utility documents for additional patches that you might need.
Ensure that the host type, Target Port Group Support (TPGS), is
enabled if you are using an ATTO Technology 8-Gbps HBA.
This host type is available in SAN Volume Controller version
4.2 or later.
