    You are aware I presume of the current queue depth limit of 3 for AIX VSCSI devices?

    This might become a limiting bottleneck for some types of IO workloads to a high-performance storage device.

    See the Virtualization Forum post for more details:

    This worked like a charm..vio picked up the assigned luns with no probs at all.
    Installed aix/linux on the luns, booted, network etc..worked great.

    This was tested on DS6800 to svc, svc to VIO 1.2 via fc cards
