I've used IBM's ESS in the past. We dealt with the load source issues by leaving a drive in the box to be the load source and pushing all our user data out to the ESS Kat Kruse IT Engineer Qualcomm, Inc. kkruse@xxxxxxxxxxxx (858) 845-0014 -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carey Jeff - jcarey Sent: Friday, April 14, 2006 09:34 To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: RE: AS400 on a Storage Area Network (SAN) We haven't done this yet, but the biggest issue is the load source. The System i (AS/400, et al.) wants to see a physical load source drive to boot from. IBM's SAN solutions now have support for dedicating a disk as a load source (and i5/OS supports this too - I think it's in V5R3M5, IIRC). The only other SAN vendor who supports this that I know of is EMC. They don't use the native functionality, but instead put a card connected to the SAN in te load source slot to fool the system into thinking there is a physical load source. Now I'm not sure if you could put an IASP or user ASP (Auxiliary Storage Pools that would not include load source) and put those on a SAN more easily.

Can anyone give me Pro's and Con's of doing this??
