Someone told me that if the LPARs can ping the HMC then it is possible to move the CDROM ( RAID Controller ) from LPAR to another LPAR. using DLPAR feature or HMC profile ADD AS DESIRED..

Should the HMC and the managed server have static IP or DHCP will also work ??

1) I made the RAID Controller ( Which has the CDROM + 2 Physical Disks )
" As Desired " when assigning it to the LPAR

2) Restart the LPAR
( I shouldn't restart the LPAR. It should detect it with cfgmgr )

3) Unassign the cdrom, ( raid controller ) from HMC

4) restart the LPAR from where it was unassigned

5) Restart the LPAR to where it is assigned

---

This should happen without restarting...

On the other forums. there are other ways to do it.
remove the pci / cdrom device

Possible to connect a LPAR to two different VIO's?

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,...
