Migrating to new SAN switch
Good morning,

I have 3 pSeries servers each with one internal boot VIOS and one boot-from-san VIOS... with numerous LPAR's running on top of them.

My question is: We are currently connecting to our IBM DS subsystem via a Cisco MDS 2GBPS SAN switch, we have recently purchased a Cisco MDS 4GBPS SAN switch and would like to migrate to it.

I have completed the migration of my WINTEL servers by simply shutting down the server, swinging over the cables, creating the new zone and powering the server back on.

I believe the AIX process is different however I am having trouble finding the correct proceedure. Can someone please help or point me in the correct direction.

Thanks.
