Supported host attachments

The IBM website provides up-to-date information about the supported host attachment operating systems.

For a list of supported host attachment operating systems, see the following website:

Open-systems hosts
You can attach the system to open-systems hosts by using one of several methods.
Logical unit numbers for Fibre Channel ports
The system supports a maximum of 2048 logical unit numbers (LUNs) per I/O group, with a maximum of 512 configured to any one host.
Copy Services support
You can use the IBMFlashCopy, Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, and HyperSwap Copy Services functions for the system across the hosts to help simplify operations.
About Fibre Channel port-name identification
The format and content of the Fibre Channel (FC) port identifier are determined by the manufacturer of the link control facility for the applicable Fibre Channel port. The identifier is an eight-byte field, which the Fibre Channel protocols use to uniquely identify the Fibre Channel port.
Sample AIX event log
The AIX audit subsystem allows system administrators to monitor and record security-related events on the system.
