Installing AIX OS on SAN disks?

Hello all,

I received some documentation from one of the IBM Global Services
Specialist on how to install AIX on a SAN storage disk. According to the
documentation I have, you can install a couple different ways. I found
some more documentation on the Dell/EMC site and this seems to be a little
older than the one I received from IBM. Again, a few different ways that I
can go about the install. I was hoping to find someone that has had a
successful install of the OS and maybe point me to some more documentation
on this subject. I have a call logged with support, as I had some general
questions, but I was told they would have to call me back.
Any advice, or problems you can share would be greatly appreciated.


Configuration:
Dell CX600 CLARIION..
IBM p570 AIX 5.3 TL04
EMC PowerPath 4.5.2 Navisphere 6.19

Thanks in advance,
John
