The IBM Power6 8203-E4A (#2847) PCI IOP for SAN Load Source</p><p>Provides the specialized function required to attach IBM i operating system load source via a fibre channel adapter and boot from that load source. With IBM i 6.1, #2847 PCI IOP for SAN Load Source supports multipath for the i5/OS load source disk unit, along with supporting multipath for all other logical units (LUNs) attached to this IOP. A minimum of two IOPs are required for enabling redundancy. See the Redbook, "iSeries and TotalStorage: A Guide to Implementing external disk on IBM eServer i5 -SG24-7120", for more information. </p><p></p><p>Attributes provided: Load source support via fiber channel. </p><p>Attributes required: #0531 V5R3M5 Machine Code or later </p><p>For 8203-E4A: The IBM Power6 8203-E4A (#2847) </p><p>Minimum required: 0 </p><p>Maximum allowed: 72 (Initial order maximum: 72) </p><p>OS level required: IBM i V5R4 with V5R4M5 Machine Code, or later </p><p>Initial Order/MES/Both/Supported: Both </p><p>CSU: Yes </p><p>Return parts MES: No </p><p>Note: Not supported in CEC.
