AIX Release Notes
Host Operating System Notes
The following section lists host-specific operating notes.
Host Operating System Support of Multi-Bus Failover
Multi-bus failover is supported on the IBM AIX operating system through the use
of Secure Path software. Refer to “Secure Path Software” on page 33, for version
compatibility and restrictions.
Host Function
Although an IBM operating system entry is present in the CLI and SWCC for the
Fibre Channel connection, use the setting “AIX_CAMBEX” for operation with
your IBM host. The IBM setting may cause problems when LUNs are not
available to AIX or during a controller failover.
Check the connection name with the following CLI command:
HSG80> SHOW CONNECTIONS
Change the operating system connection with the following CLI command:
HSG80> SET [connection name] operating_system=AIX_CAMBEX
Where: [connection name] is the name of the connection with the status listed as
OL this (Online This) or OL other (Online Other) when the SHOW CONNECTION
command is entered.
Once the connections have been made to AIX_CAMBEX, the
SHOW CONNECTION
command should display AIX_CAMBEX in the Operating System column for the
connection name(s) set with the command above.
HBA Driver Capabilities
This HBA driver release supports SCSI initiator mode only. No target mode
support or IP support are planned.
AIX Boot Support
The ability to bootstrap the RS6000 from an array controller is not supported.
