The IBM i partition is now started and accessible through LAN Console. Further setup tasks may
involve adding disk units to the System ASP, configuring networking in IBM i, installing additional
LPPs, PTFs and applications, migrating data from an existing system, or creating users, similar to
those on an IBM Power 520 server.

10. DS4000 or DS5000 Copy Services and IBM i

IBM has conducted some basic functional testing of DS4000 or DS5000 Copy Services with IBM i
as client of VIOS. Below, you will find information on the scenarios tested and the resulting
statements of support for using DS4000 or DS5000 Copy Services with IBM i.

10.1. FlashCopy and VolumeCopy
