SAS-bay based SSDs (1775, 1787, 1793, 1794, 3586, 3587) support restrictions for Power7 systems:
- SFF features 1775, 1787, 1793, and 1794, are supported in the Power 720 CEC.
- 3.5-inch features 3586 and 3587 are not supported in the Power 720 CEC.
- SSDs and HDDs are not allowed to mirror each other.
- SSDs are not supported by features 5278, 5900, 5901, 5902, and 5912.
- When an SSD is placed in feature EJ01, no feature 5886 or 5887 DASD drawer is allowed to connect to the system's external SAS port.
- When an SSD is placed in a feature 5886 or 5887 DASD drawer, the drawer is not allowed to connect to the system's external SAS port.
- A maximum of eight per feature 5886 drawer is allowed. No mixing of SSDs and HDDs is allowed in a feature 5886. A maximum of one feature 5886 EXP12S drawer containing SSDs attached to a single controller or pair of controllers is allowed. A feature 5886 containing SSD drives cannot be connected to other feature 5886's. A feature 5886 containing SSD drives cannot be attached to the CEC external SAS port on the Power 720.
- In a Power 720 with a split backplane, SSDs and HDDs may be placed in either "split," but no mixing of SSDs and HDDs within a split is allowed. IBM i does not support split backplane.
- In a Power 720 without a split backplane, SSDs and HDDs may be mixed in any combination. However, they cannot be in the same RAID array.
Limitation: can not be used in 5887 EXP24S Gen2 I/O drawer due to physical difference in Gen1 and Gen2 carriers.
