Managing zBX Storage Resources

How To


Summary

It is possible to have a System z BladeCenter Expansion (zBX) storage resource accessed with 2 different identifiers, which can cause 2 or more virtual servers (e.g. Linux or Windows running on zBX blades) to access the same storage resource when they intend to have private and separate storage resources.A “dual-use” problem can occur on the zBX when removing storage resources. This document describes the problem, as well as how to avoid the problem.
