I have not mirrored the VIO_1 with VIO_2

Here how it is setup at the moment.

VIO_2 = NOT ACTIVE

VIO_1 = Active

VIO_1 has 3 internal DISK
hdisk0 -- rootvg
hdisk1 -- NONE
hdisk2 -- lpars_rootvg

so what I have done, I have mirrored hdisk0 with hdisk1
hdisk0 -- rootvg
hdisk1 -- rootvg
hdisk2 -- lpars_rootvg

hdisk2 --> I have made small LVs and given it to LPARS
mklv -lv lpar_1_rootvg lpars_rootvg 50G
mklv -lv lpar_2_rootvg lpars_rootvg 50G
mklv -lv lpar_3_rootvg lpars_rootvg 50G
mklv -lv lpar_4_rootvg lpars_rootvg 50G

then assigned them to LPARS
mkvdev -vdev lpar_1_rootvg -vadapter vhost1
mkvdev -vdev lpar_2_rootvg -vadapter vhost2
mkvdev -vdev lpar_3_rootvg -vadapter vhost3
mkvdev -vdev lpar_4_rootvg -vadapter vhost4

so each lpar now has a HDISK0

Then I have made another hdisk thru

mklv -lv aix1rootlvm rootvg 50G hdisk1
mklv -lv aix2rootlvm rootvg 50G hdisk1
mklv -lv aix3rootlvm rootvg 50G hdisk1
mklv -lv aix4rootlvm rootvg 50G hdisk1

and assigned to lpars on different/new VHOSTx

So now each LPAR has
HDISK0
HDISK1
and I mirrored them.

LHEA presented to each LPAR.. Not thru VIO ****)

1) How can I utilise VIO_SERVER_2

2) Failover to VIO_SERVER_2

3) Load Balancing Concept in VIOS ?

Thanks

cal(1)								   User Commands							    cal(1)

NAME

       cal - display a calendar

SYNOPSIS

       cal [ [month] year]

DESCRIPTION

       The  cal  utility writes a Gregorian calendar to standard output. If the year operand is specified, a calendar for that year is written. If
       no operands are specified, a calendar for the current month is written.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       month	Specify the month to be displayed, represented as a decimal integer from 1 (January) to 12 (December). The default is the  current
		month.

       year	Specify  the year for which the calendar is displayed, represented as a decimal integer from 1 to 9999. The default is the current
		year.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       See  environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of cal: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE,  LC_TIME,
       LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.

       TZ	Determine the timezone used to calculate the value of the current month.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion.

       >0	An error occurred.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Interface Stability	     |Standard			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

NOTES

       An  unusual calendar is printed for September 1752. That is the month 11 days were skipped to make up for lack of leap year adjustments. To
       see this calendar, type:

       cal 9 1752

       The command cal 83 refers to the year 83, not 1983.

       The year is always considered to start in January.
