Quick Questions:
1) I have two virtual ethernet adapters on my VIO_Server.. Can I create more than one SEA for One Physical Ethernet Adapter
for ENT0
mkvdev -sea ent0 -vadapter ent2 -default ent2 -defaultid 1
en4
then again with a different VLAN ID
mkvdev -sea ent0 -vadapter ent3 -default ent3 -defaultid 2
en5
2) Can I create etherchannel for my physical ports on VIO Server
ENT0 + ENT1 = ENT2
and create SEA for this ENT2 ?
thanks

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.

vde_l3
VDE_L3(1) General Commands Manual VDE_L3(1)
NAME
vde_l3 - Virtual Distributed Ethernet 'Layer 3' Switch.
SYNOPSIS
vde_l3 -v vde_plug:ipaddress/netmask [-v...] [-r target_network/netmask:gateway] [-G default_gw] [-M mgmt_socket]
DESCRIPTION
A vde_l3 connects to one or more vde_switches, performing ip forwarding among its virtual interfaces. A new interface is created at startup
for each -v option given at command line. Static routes to target networks can be defined using the -r option.
vde_l3 -v /var/run/s1.ctl:192.168.0.1/24
connects to the vde sock at /var/run/s1.ctl with its virtual interface ve0, having the address 192.168.0.1 and netmask 255.255.255.0.
vde_l3
-v /var/run/s1.ctl:192.168.0.1/24
-v /var/run/s2.ctl:10.0.0.254/255.255.0.0
connects to the two vde socks, with its virtual interfaces ve0 and ve1, having addressess 192.168.1.0 and 10.0.0.254 respectively. Hosts in
each network can specify the vde_l3 as their gateway to reach the other one.
OPTIONS
-v vde_plug:ipaddress/netmask
Creates a virtual network interfaces on the vde_l3 box, with address ipaddress and netmask netmask. Please note that the netmask can
be specified either in the 'classic' A.B.C.D mode, or just by giving the number of leading bits (f.e., /17 for 255.255.128.0). One
can define as many interfaces as she wants.
-r target_network/netmask:gateway
Specify a static route through gateway to reach hosts in target_network with netmask netmask. One can define as many routes as she
wants.
-G default_gw
Specify a default gateway, to be used whenever no static route is defined for a target host.
-M mgmt_socket
the unix socket where the parameters (interfaces addresses, routes, etc.) can be checked and changed runtime. unixterm(1) can be
used as a remote terminal for wirefilter.
