Our POWER7 had only internal disks. The POWER9 has only the SAN.

I'm guessing that, instead of having all their drives in the SAN, they had some in the system unit itself.
When we migrated from P8 to P9 the only drives in the CEC were for VIOS. We didn't have a SAN but we were using external expansion units. All IBM i disk was there. Therefore it was quite easy to unplug the expansion units from the P8 to the P9 and continue on.
