Hi, We have some experience . We attach over FCP to zlinux EMC matrix (clarion and dmx) and it is supported.

Does anyone have any experience of using FCP-attached non-IBM disks with zseries linux and/or VM ?. The IBM documentation I can find says that certain IBM and Hitachi disks are supported. Other manufacturers have disks systems specifically designed for zseries, which tend to be expensive. Presentations on zseries SCSI over FCP often say that 'other disks may work but are not supported' . I would like to try out SCSI over FCP point-to-point with some some disks which have been used with a Sun unix server - specifically Sun Storedge 3510FC in a JBOD configuration. When I activate the channel there is a 'sequence time-out'. I would like to know if anyone has used 'unsupported' SCSI disks in this way. The zseries machine is for development use only and I am not concerned with the usual zseries resilience issues. keith ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
