We are setting up a test lab with two nodes, AIX 6100-08-02, PowerHA 7.1.1 SP05, VIOS2222 to test PowerHA across two sites.
At one site, the pair of VIOS servers has standard FC adapters, CCIN 577D.
At the other site, the pair of VIOS servers has FCoE adapters, feature code 5708.
The PowerHA manuals and RedBooks and web sites state that to use heartbeat over SAN, the FC adapters must have the "target mode" attribute set to "yes". The standard FC adapters have this attribute set correctly.
The FCoE adapters do not have a "target mode" attribute.
The IBM documentation states that the FCoE adapters are supported by PowerHA 7.1, but are silent on the question of using FCoE adapters for Heartbeat over SAN.
Has anyone used FCoE adapters for Heartbeat over SAN?
