Attention: To maintain system
availability and prevent possible data loss, it is important to understand
that these features have implications on the serial-attached SCSI
(SAS) configuration and data accessibility of the system. Review the
SAS
subsystem topic to understand the various
SAS configuration and service considerations.
Before servicing or installing any features,
review the I/O configurations for each logical partition on your system.
It is important to understand the differences between the various
configurations and the resulting service considerations. In addition,
consider possible impacts to the following areas:
- Logical partitions and their I/O adapter assignments
