According to the "IBM Power520/550 (POWER6) System Builder" document; you
can use the following adapter:
Feature Description Supported OS's
#5721 PCI-X 10 Gbps Ethernet-SR Fiber-LC Adapter A, L, i
This was the only 10Gbps adapter listed for i. There may be a PCIe card
now supported, but I couldn't find it using the system builder information.
If you're already running a 5706 dual 1Gb ethernet card, then you're not
using SNA, even if you wanted to. That card does not support SNA traffic.
There's a software replacement to SNA, but it doesn't sound like you need
it.
Thank you,

Hardware, and communications, are not my strong point...
However, I've been asked if we can go to 10GB Ethernet on our iSeries.
It is an M25 and we are at V7R1. We currently have two 1G Ethernet
cards. We don't do any SNA (I hope.)
Couple of questions:
1) As far as I can tell, we have an 5706 IOA which will support 10GB.
If you know anything to the contrary, please tell.
2) What is a ball park price for a 10GB card for the iSeries.
3) Any "gotchas" come to mind?
Thanks, Sam
