Appendix B. Using DS8000 with iSeries 387

Figure B-22 Single points of failure

When implementing multipath, you should provide as much redundancy as possible. As a

minimum, multipath requires two IOAs connecting the same logical volumes. Ideally, these

should be on different buses and in different I/O racks in the iSeries. If a SAN is included,

separate switches should also be used for each path. You should also use Host Adapters in

different I/O drawer pairs in the DS8000. Figure B-23 on page 387 shows this.

Figure B-23 Multipath removes single points of failure

Unlike other systems, which may only support two paths (dual-path), OS/400 V5R3 supports

up to eight paths to the same logical volumes. As a minimum, you should use two, although

some small performance benefits may be experienced with more. However, since OS/400

multipath spreads I/O across all available paths in a

round-robin manner, there is no load

balancing

, only load sharing.

Configuring multipath
