you need vio server to virtualize hardware (adapters, storage) - while IVM or HMC are managing the lpars (cpu, memory, IO allocation). On a 520 you probably want to virtualize adapters when you want to create more than 1-2 lpars as the amount of slots is pretty limited and I doubt you have any IO expansion drawers.

scconf_transp_adap_ibd(1M) System Administration Commands scconf_transp_adap_ibd(1M)
NAME
scconf_transp_adap_ibd - configure the InfiniBand (ibd) transport adapter
DESCRIPTION
Note -
Beginning with the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software
still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more infor-
mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page.
You can configure ibd adapters as cluster transport adapters. These adapters can only be used with transport type dlpi.
The ibd adapter connects to an InfiniBand transport switch. The connection is made through a transport cable.
When the endpoints of the transport cable are configured by using scconf, scinstall, or other tools, you are asked to specify a port name
on the transport switch. You can provide any port name, or accept the default, as long as the name is unique for the switch.
The default is to set the port name to the node ID that hosts the adapter at the other end of the cable.
There are no user-configurable properties for cluster transport adapters of this type.
