Situation

You are using IBM POWER machines and SLES9 or 10 with ibmvscsis and want to migrate to SLES11.

Resolution

Customers using SLES 9 or SLES 10 to serve Virtual SCSI to other LPARs, using
the ibmvscsis driver, who wish to migrate from these releases, should migrate
to the IBM Virtual I/O server. The IBM Virtual I/O server supports all the IBM
PowerVM virtual I/O features as well as provides integration with the Virtual
I/O management capabilities of the HMC. It can be downloaded at:
