Well I certainly wouldn't hold my breath expecting IBM to modify IBM i to work on native 512Byte block disks from third party vendors!

Additional native support for IBM i will appear for V7000/3700 but I'm guessing that will be the same sort of support in DS8000 where the SAN can present 520 byte blocks to IBM i and thus 'problem solved.'

The third party folks will need to make their own modifications.

So, is the goal then to get IBM and the alternative vendors working on a
VIOS solution?
Or, is it to wait to see how IBM gets native support for IBM Storwize SAN
products (V7000 & V3700) and see if this will allow native connections for
third party SANs also?
