There are known issues and limitations with the SAN Volume Controller and
an IBM® i host.
Consider the following items when attaching to a host
that runs the
IBM i operating
system:
- When there are two disks in a remote copy relationship, do not
access the read-only secondary VDisk from the IBM i host.
- A maximum of 16 disk virtual LUNs and 16 optical virtual LUNs
is supported for each IBM i virtual
I/O client SCSI adapter.
- IBM i multipathing
for virtual SCSI disks is not supported.
- SAN Volume Controller FlashCopy®, Metro Mirror, and
Global Mirror are supported for IBM i full-system
replication only.
- SAN Volume Controller space-efficient VDisks are supported for IBM i for
use as FlashCopy targets
only.
