If you're using NIM for your installation add HDS device (odms) drivers
for your storage into lpp_source and SPOT, then at the time of
installation the disks would be visible and you'll be able to install
AIX on them...

Well, them you'll need mksysb tape or DVD that already have HDS device
drivers, so you need a media you can boot off that could detect those
disks...

You probably should check w/IBM to see if your SAN is a supported
boot device. It's probably not.
