If you are using internal disks then you will need to mirror virtual disks at LPAR level, you cannot allocate local disks to both VIO Servers, specifically you can't allocate the SCSI adapter to more then one VIO LPAR.
Do note though that you will need to resync all the disks when you restart one of the VIO servers at LPAR level.
In my view local disks should only be used for the VIO servers themsleves and maybe a NIM server that should be independent of VIO.

Hi Everyone,
I've been using awk '!x++' to get rid of redundancy in a file, but it's getting rid of some extra lines I need (like the plus signs in the example below).

NAME
libroar - RoarAudio sound library
roarvio - RoarAudio virtual IO layer
SYNOPSIS
#include <roaraudio.h>
struct roar_vio_calls;
DESCRIPTION
The RoarAudio VIO interface is RoarAudio's IO abstraction layer. It provides basic IO functions such as read and write independing on the
underlaying IO. For Example can you open a plain or a gziped file via the VIO layer. After a successful open both objects behave the same,
libroar takes care about the compression in the gzip case.
TUTORIALS
Tutorials can be found in roartutvio(7).
IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS
There are several important functions. This is a small list of the most important ones.
Opening
roar_vio_open_file(3), roar_vio_open_fh(3), roar_vio_open_stdio(3), roar_vio_open_dstr(3), roar_vio_open_proto(3).
While there are a lot functions important for opening files the most important one is roar_vio_open_dstr(3). It opens a stream based
on URLs that can point to local files or files on remote machines. It also can handle compression and encryption.
Closing
roar_vio_close(3), roar_vio_shutdown(3)
Reading and writing
roar_vio_read(3), roar_vio_write(3)
Seeking and positioning
roar_vio_lseek(3)
Non-Blocking and Asyncron IO
roar_vio_nonblock(3), roar_vio_sync(3), roar_vio_select(3)
