Subject: Re: Split SCSI for LPARS
Sorry, my emails to the list do not make it for some reason,
The feature that you are referring to is for the internal 4 pack backplane
on the p630 and p650 systems only, this allows each half to be connected to
a separate scsi adapter (2 separate adapters) via a special SCSI card (in
slot 7 of the p650, we have 2 p650's with this feature) so that each scsi
adapter can be configured for a different lpar. I don't think the D20 I/0
drawer (which is now available on the p650) can split the 6 bay backplanes
in the same way but the D20 has room for 2 x 6 bay backplanes which I
believe can be connected via separate scsi adapters ( one for each LPAR )

I am sure I read something about this somewhere but for the life of me I
cannot find anything about this now. The four pack disks that are installed
in the I/O drawers have to be "normally" assigned to one LPAR because of the
one SCSI bus, but I believe there is something called split-scsi that allows
the disk pack to be split between LPARs. Can anybody verify this and
possibly point me to some documentation please? Specifically I am looking at
configuring a p650 for 5 lpars. TIA Raj Atwal
