VIOS IVM unavailable - how do I restart it?
Hi everyone,
Sorry if this post is in the wrong place. I searched the forums for "IVM" and it turned up no results. Hopefully someone knows about this. My dilemma is that I have multiple IBM JS12 Express blades in our blade center, each running VIOS 2.1.0.10-FP-20.1 and hosting a couple LPARs. Out of my 6 VIO servers, 3 of them have unavailable IVMs. The IVM (Integrated Virtualization Manager) is the web interface that comes up when you bring up
http://<hostname> in a browser. On the 3 VIO servers experiencing this issue, I'm getting page cannot be displayed when going to the IVM. SSH works fine and I'm not finding any services stopped that should be running.
I don't know when or why the IVM has stopped working on half my VIO servers but I'd like to find a way to start the IVM without rebooting the blades. Reboots will surely fix this but will also cause production outages for the LPARs running on each blade - I'm trying to avoid that.
Has anyone dealt with this before? Any help is greatly appreciated.
