- I tend not to give IP's to the adapters I create for sea on the vio servers.
- Yes, you should use a different VLAN ID for each subnet you create virtual adapters for.
- The etherchannel setup is a good idea for failover between the two vio servers, but I would only use the backup adapter feature rather than combining the two adapters.

I define 2 new LV on the vio server and run a cfgmgr on the partition and see my 2 new hdisk (hdisk6 and hdisk7).
I extend my vg vg000 (on the partition) and add the 2 hdisks.
I had a filesystem on the vg000 and when I added the disk I would like to increase the filesystem. But I cannot do a... (0 Replies)

I understand that one should setup virtual ethernet adapters in the lpars which is the best way for various lpars to communicate with each other - Does anyone have info on this or can point me to a doc that explains how to set this up? (1 Reply)

I am experiencing issues understanding exactly how to create another virtual adapter, either... (1 Reply)

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)

NAME
scconf_transp_adap_sci - configure the sci cluster transport adapter
DESCRIPTION
Note -
Beginning with the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software
still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more infor-
mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page.
You can configure sci SCI-PCI adapters as cluster transport adapters. These adapters can be used with the dlpi transport type.
The adapter name is sciN, for example, sci0. Do not use scidN as the adapter name.
An sci adapter can only be connected to another sci adapter or to an SCI switch. When an sci adapter is connected to an SCI switch, it is
important that you specify the correct port name when referring to a port on the switch as an endpoint argument to the scconf or scinstall
utility. The port name must match the port number on the SCI switch (the number that is printed on the switch itself). Failure to give the
correct port name could result in the operation failing. The result of providing an incorrect port name will be the same as you would see
if the cable between the adapter and the switch were removed.
There are no user-configurable properties for cluster transport adapters of this type.
