NPIV mixed with VSCSI?

  • 1.  NPIV mixed with VSCSI?

    Hello,

    I have a dual VIOS each serving NPIV to client LPARs.

    Can I create additional zoning to the physical FC adapters on VIOS (which are also used for NPIV traffic) to map SAN storage to VIO itself?

    Any risk?

     

    Or maybe someone knows if Debian linux for power can be boot/supports NPIV storage attached?

    Absolutely.  SAN booting the VIO Servers works exactly the same way.

    Any risk?

    None.

    No clue on this one.  One would think NPIV attached storage should work, but....
