To avoid problems during installation, follow the steps exactly as written.
Attention: Disk arrays can be created either before or after the dual storage IOA configuration is set up.
Each storage adapter requires a supported release of IBM i and other possible code prerequisites. Go to
the IBM Prerequisites website and click the Feature Prerequisites tab.
Attention: Ensure that the adapters are updated with the latest adapter microcode, which is available as
a program temporary fix (PTF) as part of the initial installation.
