You can SAN boot the operating system over Fibre Channel from a Lenovo Storage V7000 systemvolume if your IBM®System p hosts use AIX operating system version 5.3 or later.
You must use the subsystem device driver path control module (SDDPCM) multipath driver to use SAN boot. Create an appropriately sized installation volume and map it to the host. Proceed with the installation per the AIX installation instructions and, when you are prompted, select the previously defined volume as the target installation disk.
