Are you absolutely sure that your VIO server and LPAR profile are setup correctly? The problem I have seen most is that the slot numbers don't match up between the LPAR and VIO server.
When you do the "lsmap -all" as padmin you should be able to see the disk assigned to the vhost number of the LPAR. Check the slot there. It is in the "vhost#" line that looks like this (this one is "28"):
After you have this number, verify the slot number in the LPAR's profile.
I have done this numerous times on our p570 LPARs. We have redundant paths to the disks through two vio servers though and I can see both paths in the SMS menu when I go to restore a mksysb.
Guys,
Got a very urgent question here.
I accindently deleted everything on my RS600, with the rm -R command.
Now I want to restore an mksysb tape but I get the following error.
format on /dev/rmt1.1 is not in backup format
please mount /dev/rmt1.1 and press enter.
Can anyone help me... (7 Replies)
Can you have a Dynamic LPAR without VIO and if yes is there a benefit to having both? I am attempting to implement VIO and Resource pooling at my company and want to understand the limitations.

Hello,
Last night I applied a DB2 fix pack which is now causing problems with the application that uses db2. Prior to applying the fix pack I did a mksysb(rootvg) which includes the file system that has db2 installed on it. If I do a restore from this will it restore the db2 version back to... (1 Reply)
We have a frame the uses 2 vios that assign disk storage to LPAR's. We have a LPAr with multiple disk and I want to know how do I tell which vio is serving the disk. For example the LPAr has hdisk 0, 1, 2, 3 all the same size. I want to know which vio is serving hdisk0, 1. (4 Replies)
Whenever I assign/unassign a CDROM ( RAID CTRL ) to Active LPAR from HMC, I have to reboot the LPAR.
How can I do it without rebooting the LPARS.

LPARS = AIX 6.1

I am wondering if there is a command I can run from **with-in** LPAR server (server01) to find out the hostname or IP address or other parameters for VIO server in charge of server01? (1 Reply)
Just a question which may seem dumb to some out there, but then again I am not a super technie so that's my excuse.
Is it possible to say provision a test AIX LPAR (has a 10gb boot lun and 20gb data) under a VIO which has connectivity to SAN Array A so it can see the disks provisioned to it,... (2 Replies)
Hi All,
I've been trying to create a new LPAR for some days now but I can't get the VIO server to recognize the new LPAR. This is what I did:
On HMC create new LPAR
On HMC create new virtual scsi adapter for LPAR in VIO profile
On HMC add new virtual scsi adapter for LPAR with DLPAR... (6 Replies)

apmlabel
APMLABEL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual APMLABEL(8)NAME
apmlabel -- update disk label from Apple Partition Map
SYNOPSIS
apmlabel [-fqrw] device
DESCRIPTION
apmlabel is used to update a NetBSD disk label from the Apple Partition Map found on disks that were previously used on Mac OS systems (or
other APM using systems).
apmlabel scans the APM contained in the first blocks of the disk and generates additional partition entries for the disk from the entries
found. Driver and patches partitions are ignored.
Each APM entry which does not have an equivalent partition in the disk label (equivalent in having the same size and offset) is added to the
first free partition slot in the disk label. A free partition slot is defined as one with an fstype of 'unused' and a size of zero ('0').
If there are not enough free slots in the disk label, a warning will be issued.
The raw partition (typically partition c, but d on i386 and some other platforms) is left alone during this process.
By default, the proposed changed disk label will be displayed and no disk label update will occur.
Available options:
-f Force an update, even if there has been no change.
-q Performs operations in a quiet fashion.
-r In conjunction with -w, also update the on-disk label.
-w Update the in-core label if it has been changed.
SEE ALSO disklabel(8), dkctl(8), pdisk(8)HISTORY
The apmlabel command appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
