RE: Live Partition Mobility Question 'vs' POWER-HA.

[<brad.lovelady@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How exactly does PowerHA Global Mirror interface with the SAN? I know there are command APIs that allow you to instigate flash copy from the IBM i, but I do not fully understand the role of PowerHA assuming SAN to SAN replication.

Then I think your after the PowerHA that uses SAN storage and relies on that to replicate the data, and allows for two systems you can switch 
back and forth with.    The SAN and Global Mirroring are the pricey 
parts, but if you need them, worth it.
