iSeries in Storage Area Networks: A Guide to Implementing FC Disk and Tape With iSeries

Nick Harris

This IBM Redbook positions the Fibre Channel (FC) support provided by IBM ~ i5 and iSeries,plus the implementation of SAN support in OS/400 Version 5 Release 1 and later. The new FC disk adapter support primarily replaces the existing SCSI #650 1 disk adapter support for external disk. FC support opens the possibility of an iSeries implementation in a Storage Area Network (SAN).

Fibre Channel adds a new dimension to iSeries networks, providing extended distance for both tape and disk. Migration from SCSI to FC attached disk and tape will be discussed, with illustrations of how the migration is achieved.

New sections in this redbook cover a number of Fibre Channel switches and the new Multipath function.

IBM specialists and Business Partners will be able to use this redbook for planning and implementing SAN-based solutions on iSeries. The design and implementation of these new networks will also need the involvement of IBM Storage Subsystems Group (SSG) and associated Storage Business Partners.
