Re: V3700 fibre attach "native" DASD

It Depends. :-)

Disclaimer: I have not worked with this... Yet.

This suppport definitely will allow IBM i partitions to happily connect 
to the V7000 and V3700 both directly and with NPIV, VIOS not required.

From research so far I don't believe it will do is actually replace 
VIOS as a HOST Partition. Nothing I can find so far indicates it will 
behave like VIOS and simply pass along disk I/O requests from Client to 
SAN. Neither can I find any reference to allowing redundant host 
partitions with IBM i as the host. (Outside of Native mirroring at the 
Client level which doubles the total disk required.)
