This section describes
how you attach an IBM® eServer iSeries™ host system to a DS6000™ with fibre-channel adapters.
Before you attach a host, review the following information:
Notes: - You cannot use IBM System Storage™ Multipath
Subsystem Device Driver on the IBM iSeries host system. Multipathing runs
on the i5/OS. You must be running with a minimum operating system level of
i5/OS Version 5 Release 3 (V5R3) or later, to be able to take advantage of
multipathing.
- With i5/OS V5R3 or later , you can assign storage unit LUNs to
multiple iSeries fibre-channel adapters through switches, direct connection,
or through a fabric. These multiple adapters must all be within the same i5/OS
LPAR.
- With a pre-i5/OS V5R3, iSeries system, you cannot share an IBM iSeries volume
with more than one fibre-channel system attachment.
- You can obtain documentation for the IBM iSeries host system from http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/.
