DIII-D experiments have investigated ITER startup scenarios, including an initial phase where the plasma was limited on low field side (LFS) poloidal bumper limiters. Both the original ITER 'small-bore' (constant q{sub 95}) startup and a 'large-bore' lower internal inductance (l{sub i}) startup have been simulated. In addition, l{sub i} feedback control has been tested with the goal of producing discharges at the ITER design value, l{sub i}(3) = 0.85. These discharges have been simulated using the Corsica free boundary equilibrium code. High performance hybrid scenario discharges ({beta}{sub N} = 2.8, H{sub 98,y2} = 1.4) and ITER H-mode baseline discharges ({beta}{sub N} > 1.6, H{sub 98,y2} = 1-1.2) have been obtained experimentally in an ITER similar shape after the ITER-relevant startup.
