Updating the Object Data Manager (ODM) stanzas for the system iSCSI devices requires that you follow certain guidelines.
An interim fix is available to update the AIX® ODM stanzas to recognize iSCSI system volumes.
Ensure that you have installed the official PTFs. The following Web site provides information about the available PTFs:

When you install the interim fix package, the AIX host can recognize iSCSI system volumes. The system volumes are shown with the following attributes in Figure 1 for lsdev -C -1 hdisk1.
