Description
Rule
nl
number
Requires a minimum of one XP storage system for storage connectivity.
1
Requires a minimum of one IOAME on the server. For the NS1000, NS1200, NS14000, and
NS14200 servers using VIO, two VIO enclosures are used instead of the IOAME. For BladeSystems
using CLIMs, two CLIMs are used instead of the IOAME.
2
Requires a minimum of two FCSAs in an IOAME, as shown in
Figure 55
,
Figure 58
,
Figure 61
,
and
Figure 64
. Each FCSA has two Fibre Channel ports.
3
Servers using VIO require one embedded 4-port Fibre Channel PIC per VIO enclosure (total of
two PICs per server) for basic connectivity, as shown in
Figure 56
and
Figure 59
. Logical and
physical redundancy of the storage system, as shown in
Figure 62
and
Figure 65
, requires the
addition of one expansion 4-port Fibre Channel PIC per VIO enclosure (total of two expansion
PICs per server).
For optimal I/O performance, use a separate I/O path for each logical disk volumes.
