already have a physical Fibre Channel adapter on the Virtual I/O Server, you may
do the migration by mapping the SAN storage to the Virtual I/O Server instead of

In the scenario described below, it is assumed that you have:
򐂰 A running source client partition with direct-attached rootvg and a data
volume on SAN LUNs
򐂰 A Virtual I/O Server that has access to the same SAN as the direct-attached
source client
򐂰 A destination client partition that is currently shut down
