Carlos is right. It really doesn't matter what system is on the Z (VM
or Linux), it has more to do with the FCP FICON adapters. The vNNNN
boxes don't have the protocol to talk to FCP directly, while the more
sophistcated DS8xxx do. So, no matter what system you are talking to on
Z, you would need a switch for the v5010.

Thanks. It will be a V5010 so we will configure a small SAN switch.

From our experience with KVM running on a zBox if you use as storage
devices IBM V5000 or V7000 you need to use a San Switch (2498-Bxx) to
connect. If you use storage devices IBM DS8800/8870, you can connect
directly. These are some tests that we did here at our shop.

Assunto: KVM and FCP disk without SAN switch
For z/VM you must have a SAN switch to connect FCP attached disk. Is this
also true for KVM (Ubuntu if it matters)?
