Switch support for IBM iSeries hosts

This section contains references to supported switches for IBM^® iSeries™ hosts. This section applies only to i5/OS partitions.

The IBM iSeries supports only a homogeneous environment (only IBM iSeries initiators). You can establish a homogeneous environment by using the logical zoning of the switch. All host systems within an IBM iSeries zone must be IBM iSeries systems.

For a list of supported switches for an IBM iSeries host see: http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/san/.

Before you attach a host, review the following information:

The General requirements for attaching a host system
The Interoperability Matrix at http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/disk/ds6000/ for the most current information and details for hosts, operating systems, adapters, and switches
