Verifying that the server supports IBM i native I/O capability

You can verify that the server supports IBM® i native I/O capability by running the lssyscfg command available in the Hardware Management Console (HMC) command-line interface.

To verify whether the server supports IBM i native I/O capability, type the following command from the HMC command line:

lssyscfg -r sys -m <server> -F os400_native_io_capable

where server is the user-defined name of the server you want to check. The os400_native_io_capable attribute can have any one of the following values:

unavailable - When the server firmware is at a level that is earlier than FW860. When this value is returned, the HMC does not know whether the server supports IBM i native I/O capability.
0 - When the server does not support IBM i native I/O capability.
1 - When the server supports IBM i native I/O capability.
