We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by posting ideas and requests to this portal to enhance a Power product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,
Post an idea
Upvote ideas and add comments to ideas that matter most to you
Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The Power teams will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal - https://ideas.ibm.com/ - Use this site to create or search for existing Ideas across all IBM products that are outside of Power, and track all of your personal interactions with all Ideas.

IBM i supports mapping the same physical Fibre Channel port to multiple virtual Fibre Channel adapters in the same IBM i client. All LUNs (disk or tape) that are associated to that physical Fibre Channel adapter must be unique so that there are no multi-path created within the same physical port. In order to use Live Partition Mobility (LPM) or remote restart capability, you can only map the physical port twice to the same IBM i logical partition. The VIOS must be at the version 3.1.2.0, or later and the HMC must be at a version 9.2.950, or later are required for the LPM and restart the logical partition with double mapped ports support.
