Known IBM i issues and limitations

There are known issues and limitations when you connect the system to an IBM i host.

When you attach to a host that runs the IBM i operating system, consider the following items:
  • The IBM i host is not able to access read-only secondary (target) volumes that are in a remote copy relationship.
  • A maximum of 16 disk virtual LUNs and 16 optical virtual LUNs is supported for each IBM i virtual I/O client SCSI adapter.
  • IBM i multipathing for virtual SCSI disks requires IBM i 6.1.1 or later.
  • The IBM HyperSwap function is supported for IBM i full-system replication only.
  • Thin-provisioned volumes are supported for IBM i.
