Hi Holger!

Thanks for the quick repsonse.

were there any problems with the virtualized setup other than performance.
so could this lead to instabilities on the as400 side.
we can only do it virtualized.

the last thing i want to rist is instability on the as400.

greetings,
franz

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.
