Restoring mksysb to vio lpar?

I have a standard template I deploy for each of my AIX servers. It's in a mksysb format which I pulled via the nim server after I originally set it up. I'm trying to restore this mksysb over the wire to a remote system. The remote system is an lpar running under vio (no HMC attached). The disk...

Unix VIO vs Dynamic LPAR

Can you have a Dynamic LPAR without VIO and if yes is there a benefit to having both? I am attempting to implement VIO and Resource pooling at my company and want to understand the limitations. Also, I have been told the managing and allocation of the Logical Volumes is a time consuming task as...

LPAR and vio disk mapping

We have a frame the uses 2 vios that assign disk storage to LPAR's. We have a LPAr with multiple disk and I want to know how do I tell which vio is serving the disk. For example the LPAr has hdisk 0, 1, 2, 3 all the same size. I want to know which vio is serving hdisk0, 1.

LPAR and AIX VIO Disk Mappring for Linux Clients

VIO Server is managing both AIX Clients and Linux Clients. For AIX Clients, we could do a disk mapping from slot numbers to VIO and also uname -L to determine the lparid and serial number frame its running on. From a Linux Client, How do I know which IBM frame its running on? Any command to...

LPAR - What is my VIO (hostname, IP, ...)

I am wondering if there is a command I can run from **with-in** LPAR server (server01) to find out the hostname or IP address or other parameters for VIO server in charge of server01?

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,...

A solution to the mkvg failure when adding iSCSI disks to AIX.

Previous forum threads have noted that AIX cannot use iSCSI disks because it fails when trying to add them to a volume group using mkvg. The failure is caused by AIX's use of the SCSI "WRITE AND VERIFY"(0x2e) command which some iSCSI targets do not support. We experienced the same problem using...

VIO server does not show new LPAR

Hi All, I've been trying to create a new LPAR for some days now but I can't get the VIO server to recognize the new LPAR. This is what I did: On HMC create new LPAR On HMC create new virtual scsi adapter for LPAR in VIO profile On HMC add new virtual scsi adapter for LPAR with DLPAR...

FC, iSCSI, and NAS configuration?

I am using Windows Server 2008R2 as a domain controller to 2 other servers and would like to use my Dell Powervault 770N as my NAS for data storage. I have FC that I would like to implement between the servers and the NAS (as an iSCSI target). I am brand new to this world; is this possible? I am...

ISCSI.CONF(5)							File Formats Manual						     ISCSI.CONF(5)

NAME

       iscsi.conf - iSCSI Target and LUN configuration

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/iscsi.conf

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page describes the format of the /etc/iscsi.conf file. This file is a simple text file that iscsid(8) uses to locate iSCSI tar-
       get devices and LUNs.  Comments are marked by lines beginning with '#'.

       Available entries include:

       DiscoveryAddress=<address>
	      IP address or hostname to use for target discovery.  A TCP port number may be specified by appending a colon followed  by  the  port
	      number. This entry must start in the first column, and must not contain any whitespace.

       TargetIpAddr=<address>
	      A synonym for DiscoveryAddress.

       Username=<user>
	      Specify  the  authentication user.  If this entry precedes all DiscoveryAddress entries, it serves as the default.  If this entry is
	      indented under a DiscoveryAddress entry, it specifies the user for all targets discovered at that IP address.

       Password=<pass>
	      Specify the authentication password for the previously listed iSCSI If this entry precedes all DiscoveryAddress entries,	it  serves
	      as  the default.	If this entry is indented under a DiscoveryAddress entry, it specifies the user for all targets discovered at that
	      IP address.

EXAMPLE

       # set the default user and password
       Username=alice
       Password=nty57nbe

       # targets at this address will use the default Username and Password
       DiscoveryAddress=192.168.10.94

       # targets at this address will use the Username and Password below
       DiscoveryAddress=192.168.10.95
	   Username=beatrice
	   Password=93fdgc20
