I am trying to restore a VIO server through HMC. The nim_resources.tar is nfs exported from a file server.

The HMC has 2 interface configured

ent0 - Privare network
ent1 - Public network

Both networks are isolated from each other with different switch.

Now the problem:

When running the installios command from HMC and after providing the required parameter, the HMC assumes server IP as the one in private network and going forward ping fails during the lpar bootup

Is there any way I can tell the HMC to use the HMC interface in public network as Server IP and not the private interface ?

Let me know if its not clear..
