Operating Systems AIX New IBM Power8 (S822) and StorWiz V3700 SAN, best practices for production setup/config? Post 302932774 by c3rb3rus on Saturday 24th of January 2015 10:01:22 AM

Wrench New IBM Power8 (S822) and StorWiz V3700 SAN, best practices for production setup/config?

Hello,

Got a IBM Power8 box (S822) that I am configuring for replacement of our existing IBM machine.

Wanted to touch base with the expert community here to ensure I don't miss anything critical in my setup/config of AIX.

Did a fresh AIX 7.1 install on the internal scsi hdisk, mirror'ed the rootvg and made sure it can boot from both hdisks in case one fails using this guide.

The AIX oslevel is 7100-03, going to check for any updates.

What about firmware/microcode? How does one go about updating that for the head unit?

Anything else I should consider doing before I start adding my SAN FC LUNs and moving over our application?
