you should be able to use any seagate or hitachi SAS drive up to 146GB (as IBM does not produce harddrives any more, they usually use seagates), potentially as well bigger ones but in my experience the compability issues are much higher the bigger the disks are.
Ideally - if you have access to a working AIX box - initialize the disk on a running AIX system before you plug it into the other box.
