5.4 Virtual SCSI rootvg and data to virtual Fibre Channel

In this section a logical partition's virtual SCSI rootvg and data volumes will be

migrated to another partition that will have the same volumes presented as the

virtual Fibre Channel disk. Figure 5-24 provides a graphical representation of the

procedure that we detail.

Figure 5-24 Virtual SCSI migration to virtual Fibre Channel

In the scenario described below, it is assumed that you have:

򐂰 A running source client partition with virtual SCSI rootvg and data that will

become the destination client partition

򐂰 A Virtual I/O Server that is serving the source partition with SAN LUNs and

has allocated to it a NPIV-capable Fibre Channel adapter
