Thanks JohnF. I understand that SEA is a Layer 2 bridge between the physical and the virtual interface. But in this case , only ent1 has a I/P. So, without the I/p how is the trafiic send from ent0 or ent2 ?
I have had another look at the listing and now fully understand what is going on and your problem!
The VIO server is fitted with a four port ethernet card hence ent0, 1, 2, and 3 which is not listed but must be there as the first virtual connector became ent4 with ent5 as its control channel (These were created on the HMC before the etherchannel adapter was created hence the etherchannel adapter is ent6). The etherchannel was then created probably using the following command on the VIO server:
Following this the only virtual SEA was created on the VIO server using the following command:
All of this means the adapter ent1 is a physical port on the VIO server which is configured with a management / admin address (whichever your organisation uses).
As I said earlier you will need to connect the client LPARs virtual ethernet adapter to whichever VLAN id was declared when ent4 was created. To find this VLAN id you can either look at the VIO server on the HMC or run the command
which will list the VLAN id in the listing which is quite long!

Reason: bad spelling!
I have a script running remotely using viosvrcmd command on hmc to back up the VIO servers. these are the steps involved
1. Mount the NFS directory on to the VIO server
2. run backupios command
3. un mount the directory
I am stuck up in the 3rd step. I am not able to unmount the nfs... (6 Replies)

Hi Guys,
I'm working on building a new 595 machine.. I'm try to achieve high availability for the VIO clients using 2 VIO servers, The ethernet part is satisfied using SEA failover, Now how do I achieve redundancy for the disks, its the servers internal disk attached to the scsi cards...

I have same lun (hdisk3) assigned to 2 vios server (dual vio server) and this is mapped to the client lpar. I have sddpcm on the VIO.
On the VIOA, the attributes for fscsi1 and fscsi3 are set to fast_fail and dyntrk is set to yes
Now, if I do a lqueryvg -Atp on the hdisk3, I get a "DISK... (4 Replies)
Hi
In the vio server when I do # lsattr -El hdisk*, I get a PVID. The same PVID is also seen when I put the lspv command on the vio client partition. This way Im able to confirm the lun using the PVID.
Similarly how does the vio client partition gets the virtual ethernet scsi client adapter... (1 Reply)

VLAN(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual VLAN(7)NAME
VLAN - virtual local area network
DESCRIPTION
This manpage provides a brief overview of VLAN (virtual LAN) technology.
VLANs are logical, or network segments that can span multiple physical network segments. A primary benefit of VLANs is that they can iso-
late broadcast and multicast traffic by determining which destinations should receive that traffic, thereby making better use of switch and
end-station resources.
Logical separation using VLAN allows for the logical grouping of PCs, servers and other network resources to behave as if they were con-
nected to the same, physical segment, even if they are not.
HP-UX VLAN is an implementation of IEEE 802.1p/Q standards.
VLAN interfaces can be configured in HP-UX servers using the command (see nwmgr_vlan(1M)) or (see lanadmin_vlan(1M)). HP recommends that
you use for HP-UX Release 11i Version 3 and forward. Interfaces can also be configured using the web-based management tool HP-UX System
Management Homepage (HP SMH).
Each VLAN interface created is assigned a VLAN PPA (VPPA) that is unique across the system and a VLAN ID, that identifies the virtual LAN
it is part of. The VLAN ID is unique on the interface on which the VLAN interface is created.
WARNINGS
The and commands are deprecated. These commands will be removed in a future HP-UX release. HP recommends the use of replacement command
nwmgr(1M) to perform all network interface-related tasks.
