Power6 Virtual Fibre Channel Adapter
Hello,
Searched in all IBM Redbooks and on the internet and couldn't find anything about the new feature of POWER 6 which Virtual Fibre ( Fiber ) channel adapter.
It is similar to virtual scsi adapter.
In my client partition I created the virtual Fibre Adapter mapped it with the VIO adapter (also need to create a virtual fibre)
but how to map using mkvdev command ?
Anyone know how to use this feature ?
Thanks
