Jim,

I'm doing the same now with dual 5735 and Brocade fiber channel switch, configured with multiple zones. All 4 drives available to both partitions.

Two of those (5735 ccin 577D) and one 5774 (ccin 5774)

The 5735s with an appropriate 8Gb switch will support NPIV which allows me to share the libraries across all the LPARs without moving the cards.

Which P7 fiber card are you using, we have 5735.

Whoever told you that was being very disingenuous since a simple fibre card in the new system would have sufficed. It is true the IOP/IOA combination on your old system would not directly come across, but the
the fibre cards on P7 boxes are very reasonably priced. You can use
your 3583 fibre attach with no problem. I have three of them on my system here at Agile.

3583 was fiber attached, 5704 IOP.
I was told that the 3583 would only work with an IOP, Power7 and beyond doesn't support IOP, IOPLESS only, thus the reason we had to replace/upgrade.
