Operating Systems AIX DUAL VIOS & Client LPAR hangs at 25b3 Post 302395888 by filosophizer on Wednesday 17th of February 2010 08:00:26 AM

actually we figured out what was the problem. The problem was with SAN Zoning. In case of DUAL VIO Setup SAN Zoning has to be different.
Each switch should see both Servers

When using only one Fibre Channel per Virtual I/O Server, you need an
additional switch to have a highly available configuration. In this case, it is
important that the SAN zoning be configured such that the single Fibre Channel
in each Virtual I/O Server LPAR is zoned to see both storage controllers in the
FAStT. If a second Fibre Channel is used for additional redundancy, the storage
administrator must ensure that each Fibre Channel is zoned to only one of the
DS4200 controllers. Rules for attachment of FAStT storage units to AIX can be
found in the Storage Manager documentation of the Storage Manager products.

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
