| Runs with IBM i | Yes ... Native IBM i tape adapter; VIOS is not supported. On the S1122, native use needs EEPS. |
SG24-8590 says IBM i only with AIX support planned; SG24-8587 Table 3-18 lists IBM i, AIX and VIOS.
Power11 internal storage is all NVMe, so SAS on these servers is for tape. Not supported inside the ENZ0 drawer (full height slots).
Before you order EJ2C
The drive bay and controller setup decides how many drives the server can hold and how they are protected. Changing it usually means planning downtime, so check it against your machine type first.
