8. IBM i using open storage through VIOS concepts
The capability to use open storage through VIOS extends the IBM i storage portfolio to include
512-byte-per-sector storage subsystems. The existing IBM i storage portfolio includes integrated
SCSI, SAS or Solid State disk, as well as Fibre Channel-attached storage subsystems that
support 520 bytes per sector, such as the IBM DS8000 product line. IBM i cannot currently
attach directly to 512-B open storage, because its Fibre Channel adapter code requires 520 bytes
per sector. Therefore, logical units (LUNs) created on open storage are physically connected
through the Fibre Channel fabric to VIOS. Once recognized by VIOS, the LUNs are virtualized to
one or more IBM i virtual client partitions. The following diagram illustrates both the physical and
virtualization components of the solution:
