I am trying to boot from the physical optical media -- that is -- i have assigned the optical media CD/DVD to the LPAR Partition and it boots from the CD-ROM expect that it gets stuck at the led 0518 which is something very strange !

Hi All,
Besides the licenses on VIO and LPAR. What's the main difference with the two? I have installed VIO, my manager told me so, because it's like a free hypervisor but I never installed LPAR before. How do you install it? And if you can give more info on the two, that would be great.

qscan -d DEVICE [-S] [-i] [-m]
qscan -d DEVICE [-p] [-r] [-w] [-v]
qscan -d DEVICE [-f] [-s] [-t] [-v]
qscan -d DEVICE -t wt [-s #] [-W]
DESCRIPTION
qscan is the linux console tool for error correction measuring with optical devices. The related plugin allows to use vendor specific com-
mands on your optical device. Currently supported vendors are Asus, Benq, Liteon, NEC, Pioneer and Plextor. For detailed information look
at http://qpxtool.sourceforge.net/supported.html
DEVICE
can be an IDE, SCSI, SATA, USB or FireWire connected optical drive. Not all SATA controller support all Plextor features.
Linux:
/dev/hdX: IDE device
/dev/scdX: Linux 2.4: SATA, SCSI, USB device, or IDE device via ide-scsi emulation
/dev/srX: Linux 2.6: IDE device via new ATA layer, SCSI or USB device
OpenBSD/NetBSD:
/dev/rcdX
FreeBSD:
/dev/cd: SCSI device
/dev/acd: ATA device
MacOS X:

-r #, --rspeed #
set read performance speed to selected value.
Use -S option before, if you are unsure which speeds are supported
-s #, --speed #
set measurement speed to selected value.
Use -S option before, if you don't know what speeds are supported by your device.
Don't use this with -r or -w option.
-t, --test [rt|wt|errc|ft|jb|ta]
select the q-check you want to be proceeded. Not all tests are supported by all devices.
For detailed information about the terms read the project page:

[wt] write transfer rate on blank media
[errc] errror correction - Cx-scan / PIE, PIF, POE, POF
[ft] focus and tracking error measurement
[jb] jitter and beta measurement
[ta] time analyzer measurement
-w #, --wspeed #
set write speed to selected value.
Use -S option before, if you don't know what write speeds are supported by your device.
-v, --verbose
gives verbose output and debug information
-W, --write
perform real write instead simulation for write transfer rate
EXAMPLES
qscan -l
scan all buses for availabale optical devices
qscan -d /dev/sr2 -S
Show available speed steps of device /dev/sr2.
qscan -d /dev/sr2 -t errc -s 5
Proceed an error correction scan on device /dev/sr2 with 5x speed.
qscan -d /dev/sr0 -t wt -s 12
Proceed a write performance test in simulation mode on device /dev/sr0 (dummy mode) with 12x speed
