IBM i 7. 1, the ability to create up to four IBM i partitions will be enabled in VPM. Note … this may be attractive for smaller-shop clients who wish to use IBM i to virtualize an Ethernet port using IBM i instead of VIOS and who wish to avoid adding an HMC to their configuration – Thin Provisioning for DS 8700 and DS 8800 storage servers, and for VIOS Shared Storage Pools allows configurations set up with a smaller amount of real disk storage • IBM i mirroring algorithms are enhanced to take into consideration any N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) attached disks. • System and I/O Support • Additional bus level statistics for 12 x loops with 7. 1 • Ethernet link aggregation improves throughput and reliability for up to 8 links • Share physical Ethernet connections across partitions with Ethernet layer-2 bridging 41 © 2011 IBM Corporation
