POWER6 VIO Failover

Hello,

Can someone point to me document or the method to make failover for VIO Servers ?

I have one VIO_Server1 which has 4 AIX LPARS
- From the VIO_SERVER1 I have assigned virtual SCSI DISK to the four LPARS
- For Ethernet I have used LHEA

So, if my VIO Server1 crashes all the LPARS should move to VIO_SERVER2

1) How can I make this possible ?


Second Question
From my VIO_Server_1 I have assigned a disk HDISK1 to LPAR_5
From my VIO_Server_2 I have assgined a disk HDISK2 to LPAR_5

In LPAR5 i see two DISK
lspv
hdisk1
hdisk2

I load AIX 6 and mirror HDISK1 and HDISK2

If VIO_Server_1 goes down I still have HDISK2
will this work ?
