Re: quadstor vtl with as400

Hi Franz,

we do run this as follows:
- no VMWare. We tried once with some performance degradation
- locally installed Debian Linux + quadstor Software
- Qlogic 22xx and 24xx - all supported, just grab one which fits your server (PCI-X or PCIe)
- fast local disk with software RAID and also external Infortrend RAID systems
- using quadstor with NPIV works great so you can use one VTL serving as multiple VTL for multiple LPARS.

Hi!

I read on this mailing-list that quadstor vtl is working fine with aa400.
i could buy a cheap supported fibre-channel controller for ma IBMi now and
i would like to ask if someone has this setup running in a production
environment and which components he is using.

of special interest for me are
- which fibre-channel controller is used in the VTP server (only QLogic
seems to be supported).
- can this setup be run on top of vmware-esx where the vtl is a virtual
machine?
- can the firbre-channel adapter that is used for the vm be shared between
more vms so that they can also access the vtl.
