The storage subsystems supported by PowerHA are those documented in the Sales Manual. New additions are announced via Flash. Current information can be retrieved from the online Sales Manual for PowerHA on AIX. PowerHA supports those IBM devices that have passed IBM qualification efforts, and for which IBM development and service are prepared to provide support. With the PowerHA SystemMirror Enterprise Edition, clients using EMC storage with SRDF can take advantage of the PowerHA SystemMirror capabilities for HA/DR operations. EMC clients may also deploy PowerHA SystemMirror Standard Edition for data center operations. There is a group, associated with development, that tests non-IBM storage subsystems for attachment to AIX systems and PowerHA. There are also cooperative service agreements in place with certain non-IBM storage vendors.
