AIX virtualization: IVM initial network setup
I have a system model 505 p server. I am trying to virtualize my server. My network admin has given me 10 IP addresses (with the DNS already updated with names that map onto each ip). E.g.: IP1 maps to m1.lab, IP2 maps to m2.lab, etc
I have been following the redpaper "Integrated Virtualization Manager on IBM System p5". I managed to install VIOS without facing any problem but keep getting stuck in the initial network setup (2.6.3, pg 31). I am unable to get mktcpip command to work. I cannot access my IVM through the browser. I do not even understand what the settings are for the different parameters. Can someone please help me.
a) What should the parameters of mktcpip be?
- in particular, shoudl the parameters like hostname, ip addr, etc refer to a new virtual partition or to the physical host?
b) How do I troubleshoot mktcpip?

ypset
YPSET(8) BSD System Manager's Manual YPSET(8)
NAME
ypset -- tell ypbind(8) which YP server process to use
SYNOPSIS
ypset [-h host] [-d domain] server
DESCRIPTION
The ypset utility tells the ypbind(8) process on the current machine which YP server process to communicate with. If server is down or is
not running a YP server process, it is not discovered until a YP client process attempts to access a YP map, at which time ypbind(8) tests
the binding and takes appropriate action.
The ypset utility is most useful for binding a YP client that is not on the same broadcast network as the closest YP server, but can also be
used for debugging a local network's YP configuration, testing specific YP client programs, or binding to a specific server when there are
many servers on the local network supplying YP maps.
The options are as follows:
-h host
Set the YP binding on host instead of the local machine.
-d domain
Use the YP domain domain instead of the default domain as returned by domainname(1).
