The SAN Volume Controller provides
both single and dual Virtual input/output (VIO) server configurations
on IBM® System p® hosts that support
VIO.
You can present the SAN Volume Controller VDisks
to the VIO server host bus adapters (HBAs) using the same method as
a standard AIX® installation.
For single VIO server configurations, VDisks can be split up into
logical volumes by the VIO server and mapped to the VIO clients. For
dual VIO server configurations, VDisks cannot be split into logical
volumes, and must instead be mapped intact through both servers to
the VIO clients.
The following Web site provides the most current information
about multipath requirements and restrictions for the supported VIO
configurations:
