Example of system configuration
(directly connected to storage)
An example of connection directly to storage with 8-Gbps Fibre-channel adapter is as
follows:
Four partitions (LPARs) are configured in LPAR manager, each of which is allocated a
system path and data path. They are implemented redundancy with redundancy software
such as HDLM and HFC-PCM.
The four ports share each HBA port using the FC sharing function.

Make sure to connect the storage via Loop to use the FC sharing function with 8

Gbps Fibre-channel adapter. See
with connection directly to storage
Multiple LPARs can share an HBA port. To share a port, allocate the port to LPARs

on the LPAR manager screen using the WWN identifier (vfcID). The following is
an example for allocation with vfcID (1 to 15) in this configuration.
