Fibre-channel
attachment
requirements
for
IBM
iSeries
hosts
This
topic
provides
fibre-channel
attachment
requirements
for
IBM
iSeries
hosts.
Use
the
following
requirements
when
attaching
the
storage
unit
to
your
host
system:
1.
You
can
obtain
documentation
for
the
IBM
iSeries
host
system
from
publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/infocenter.htm.
2.
Check
the
LUN
limitations
for
your
host
system.
See
Table
4
on
page
60.
3.
Either
you
or
an
IBM
service
support
representative
must
install
the
storage
unit
by
using
the
procedures
in
the
IBM
TotalStorage
DS6000
Installation,
Troubleshooting,
and
Recovery
Guide
.
Note:
1.
You
cannot
use
SDD
on
the
IBM
iSeries
host
system.
2.
With
i5/OS
Version
5
Release
3,
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.
