Operating Systems AIX GPFS initial setup, but perhaps this is a SAN/VIO question Post 302739459 by kneemoe on Tuesday 4th of December 2012 08:35:58 AM

I'll have to get some info from the SAN guys, all I know about their end of things is that they're handing off the disk to the HBAs assigned to the 795 (VIOs), what is it that I should be asking about the zoning?

Edit: I'm obviously still learning quite a bit - I wasn't aware that I should/could make a second vdev using the same backing device to share out the LUN through the VIOs to more than one LPAR. I've now gone ahead and done just that, and both LPARs can see the disks I plan to use with GPFS, and I think I'm now ready to start building the cluster. Thanks all the same!
