The IBM 98Y3863 is a four-port 4Gb Fibre Channel host adapter card for the DS8000 storage system, shortwave, supplied under feature code 3113. Host adapters are the storage system’s side of the SAN: they present the volumes to the attached servers, as distinct from the device adapters that connect the controllers to the drive enclosures. A DS8000 is configured with several host adapters spread across its enclosures so that the loss of one card, or of the fabric it faces, removes paths rather than access. It is cross-referenced with part 22R6930. Confirm the storage model before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies IBM components for ongoing maintenance projects.
