High Availability Automation for iSCSI Integrated Server and AIX 5L With Virtual Storage on System i

Overview High Availability (HA) is a necessary component of a resilient IT infrastructure. Clients who wish to simplify their integrated server or UNIX environment by hosting it with i5/OS can further leverage existing System i capabilities to automate HA management for those environments. Integrating IBM BladeCenter and System x with internet SCSI (iSCSI) or AIX 5L with i5/OS simplifies the IT environment by enabling rapid deployment of new virtual storage, while using existing skills to manage physical disk and adapter hardware. By creating virtual disk in an Independent Auxiliary Storage Pool (IASP), System i clients can incorporate a hosted environment into their core business HA strategy. i5/OS has the capability to automatically take action when an IASP becomes available or unavailable.
