POWER6 VIO Failover
Hello,

Can someone point to me document or the method to make failover for VIO Servers ?

I have one VIO_Server1 which has 4 AIX LPARS
- From the VIO_SERVER1 I have assigned virtual SCSI DISK to the four LPARS
- For Ethernet I have used LHEA

So, if my VIO Server1 crashes all the LPARS should move to VIO_SERVER2

1) How can I make this possible ?


Second Question
From my VIO_Server_1 I have assigned a disk HDISK1 to LPAR_5
From my VIO_Server_2 I have assgined a disk HDISK2 to LPAR_5

In LPAR5 i see two DISK
lspv
hdisk1
hdisk2

I load AIX 6 and mirror HDISK1 and HDISK2

If VIO_Server_1 goes down I still have HDISK2
will this work ?

gnome-disk-image-mounter

GNOME-DISK-IMAGE-MOU(1) 					gnome-disk-utility					   GNOME-DISK-IMAGE-MOU(1)

NAME

       gnome-disk-image-mounter - Attach and mount disk images

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-disk-image-mounter [--writable] [URI...]

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-disk-image-mounter can be used to set up disk images. Both regular files and GVfs URIs (such as smb://filer/media/file.iso) can be
       used in the URI parameter. If no URIs are given and a window server is running, a graphical file chooser will be presented.

       Note that gnome-disk-image-mounter will not mount filesystems or unlock encrypted volumes in the disk image - this responsibility is left
       to the automounter in GNOME Shell to ensure that the same interactions happen as if the disk image was a regular physical device or disc.

       By default the disk images are attached read-only, use the option --writable to change this.

RETURN VALUE

       gnome-disk-image-mounter returns 0 on success and non-zero on failure.
