The v3700 on Power 6 is only supported with VIOS (vSCSI/NPIV).

If it was an Power 7 (E4B) then you could do what you are thinking.

Is v3700 supported for direct attach to IBM i at 7.1? if it is, you can do it. IBM i doesn't care where it's disks come from, be it VIOS, raid card or fc card. You might run into performance issues but on those i'm not versed.

Best Regards,

Roberto

I h ave a client that sometime down the road will get a new a Power8
and we will do VIOS, Fiber Switch etc. They are all but out of disk on
a E4A with the Host partition at 6.1 and a Guest at 7.1. Assuming we
PTF and TR the heck out of the Guest at 7.1, place a fiber card
directly into the Guest partition can I hang a V3700 on the Guest?
This is a stop gap at best. It will save the cost of disk that won't
move the Power8 and we can add move disk to the V3700 down the road
