Re: Installing AIX OS on SAN disks?

Any good information or user experiences about installing AIX on SAN disks
or booting AIX from the SAN disks would be greatly appreciated.

This is a great topic.

Thanks,

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
