Re: HP Nimble to IBM i via SAN Switch

I've been unable to get internet searches or IBM to confirm or deny this
question: Can HP Nimble storage be used as IBM i storage when connected
via SAN fibre network.

I know we could add it as external storage with a Flash System and SVC (or
an SVC controller) but I don't see any indication that it will or will not
work via SAN network without SVC. These are mostly test/dev partitions and
not production so throughput and speed are not issues.

According to https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00008273enw&docLocale=en_US there is no mention of IBM i. However they support AIX, so it could work through a VIOS and vSCSI setup.

There is maybe more information the SPOCK web site, but it requires an HPE account which I don't have.
