Subject: Re: Booting off SAN
Bill,
Yep, we've done it for numerous nodes and node-types, including AIX,
Win2k, NT, and Alpha/OpenVMS on Shark via InRange FC/9000's.
The AIX machines are p660's & p690's.
With AIX, last I knew, it wasn't supported with SDD, although there was
supposed to be an SDD release in November that allowed you to exclude
rootvg, and would then be supported.
We found that even with the versions of SDD that were unsupported for
fibre boot, you could boot from the fibre ESS connection, but things had
to be installed in a very specific order to work correctly.
