Does anyone have an experience using AIX 5.3 and virtual I/O over a pair of HBAs? How does it work?

It works fine with two VIO's or one VIO. I personally am only run one VIO, but that's because I'm not running mission critical apps over VIO yet and when I implemented two VIO implementations were still pretty "rough". One VIO has been extremely stable. I run with HBA's, boot from SAN (ESS) VIO server and SAN client Vscsi's.

I also use for 5 month one VIOS with four HBAs attached in boor from san mode with my EMC CX700.


Soem problems at the begining with powerpath on the clients partitions but all is stable now.
