homeyjoe, thanks for the info. It was helpful.


However, I have few comments:

1) On the VIO SERVER
I did mark YES Access external network & Trunk priority = 2

2) On the VIO SERVER
I did mark YES IEEE.Q Protocol
{ When I marked YES on this one, I couldn't ping from my laptop which is connected to the switch to the VIO SERVER which is also connected to the switch and when I un-marked it, I was able to ping from my laptop to the VIO server... But when it was marked YES, between the AIX servers (LPARS) I was able to ping the VIO Server.....I don't understand this one ? Can anyone explain }

3) To each AIX LPARs.. you mentioned I should not check YES Access external network & Trunk priority = ?
{could you please explain this... will I be able to access outside/external network}

4) As an experiment, I did check YES Access external network & Trunk priority = ? on each LPARs...
But when I give it the same Trunk Priority as VIO SERVER, my LPAR couldn't detect the Virtual Ethernet Adapter. As soon as the Trunk Priority number is different.. I can see the virtual adapter using cfgmgr.
{ -Do I need to check Access outside network for each LPAR ? }
{ -Should I always give different Trunk Priority and what does it mean ?}


Thanks

Need to replace a broken PV in a VIO VG used for client LPARs (and it won't release the old one)

I have a broken PV in a VIO VG that's used to support client LPARs using LVs. On the client LPAR, I reduced all PVs from the relevant client VG and thus deleted it. I.e. there is no client LPAR using the VIO VG. Yet when I try to reducevg the VIO VG, it complains that the LV hosted on the PV is... (2 Replies)

roar_vs_connection_obj(3)				   RoarAudio Programmer's Manual				 roar_vs_connection_obj(3)

NAME
roar_vs_connection_obj, roar_vs_stream_obj, roar_vs_vio_obj - VS API interface for use of main API SYNOPSIS
#include <roaraudio.h> struct roar_connection * roar_vs_connection_obj(roar_vs_t * vss, int * error); struct roar_stream * roar_vs_stream_obj (roar_vs_t * vss, int * error); struct roar_vio_calls * roar_vs_vio_obj (roar_vs_t * vss, int * error); DESCRIPTION
Those functions return internal connection, stream and VIO object of the VS object. They are used to use the main API with a VS opened stream. roar_vs_connection_obj() returns the connection object used for the control connection to the server. roar_vs_stream_obj() returns the stream object storing information about the stream. roar_vs_vio_obj() returns the VIO object used to read data from or send data to the server. Returned objects are freed as soon as the VS object is closed. If the VS object was created using roar_vs_new_from_con(3) the connection is not closed by the VS object and stay valid after close until it is closed by the program or library. The VIO object MUST NOT be used while in buffered mode. PARAMETERS
vss The VS object to return internal objects from. error This is a pointer to a integer used to store the error value in case of error. This can be NULL if not used but it is very recom- mended to use this error value to report good error messages to the user. RETURN VALUE
On success these calls return the described object. On error, NULL is returned. EXAMPLES
