Urgent support for Power HA System Mirror for IBM i of the new IBM Spectrum Virtualize function Policy-based HA (the new Hyperswap function)

With the last announcements of IBM storage, the IBM Spectrum Virtualize Software is enhanced with the new functions based on Policy-based HA (the new Hyperswap function).

The PowerHA system mirror for i, today doesn't support this new function and Storage brand announce that the current known Hyperswap will be removed starting with the next version of IBM Spectrum Virtualize Software (now the last version is 8.7). From a technical point of view the old Hyperswap presents itself to the IBM i hosts as a single cluster with a PowerHA LUN switching configuration. The new PB-HA is based on a concept of Logical HA partitions and it presents itself to the IBM i hosts as a dual node cluster. PowerHA LUN switiching is not able to support this configuration.
