IBM i 7.1 partitions on POWER7+, POWER7 & POWER6 servers:
> can use N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) to attach to
>> IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC)
>> IBM Storwize V7000 & V3700 storage systems.
> use more simple configurations with NPIV than with VSCSI.
> can have LOADSOURCE support
> can use PowerHA for i LUN level switching
> IBM i 6.1 can use VIOS & NPIV but has no support for SVC & Storwize
AIX NPIV minimum support levels are:
AIX 7.1 with the 7100-02 Technology Level and Service Pack 2, or later.
AIX 6.1 with the 6100-08 Technology Level and Service Pack 2, or later.
