#2847 PCI IOP for SAN Load Source
The #2847 PCI IOP for SAN Load Source provides the specialized function required to locate the load source disk on an
external disk server attached via a fibre channel adapter, and boot from that load source. The #2847 PCI IOP for SAN Load
Source does not support multipath for the IBM i load source disk unit, but does support multipath for all other logical unit
numbers (LUNs) attached to this IOP. A minimum of two IOPs are required to enable redundancy. Refer to iSeries and IBM
TotalStorage: A Guide to Implementing External Disk on eServer i5, SG24-7120, for more information.
