You have to get your HMC involved because the vio server and your client LPAR can only see their own slot numbers for their adapters. I don't think either can see the other server's slot number, maybe they can but I'm not sure how.
Here is how it can be done though. In this example, slot 11 on the VIO server connects to slot C9 on the client.
Get the slot number of the vscsi0 from the client side using "lsslot -c slot":
Assuming your managed system's name is "MANAGEDSYSTEM", query your HMC with the 'lshwres' command and grep out your client LPAR's hostname and slot number. From this command you'll see the client slot to VIO slot association (make sure to put the comma inside the double-quotes of the grep):
You can verify the resulting VIO slot number information by looking at the 'lsmap -all' output on your VIO server:
We're using VIO (not an HMC) to manage our LPAR's We have 3 physical adapters and 4 LPARs. Through the VIO interface we assigned 2 virtual interfaces but require a 3rd interface assigned to these LPARs. I am experiencing issues understanding exactly how to create another virtual adapter, either... (1 Reply)

I know the VIOs are generally to be treated as an appliance and one should never drop down to oem_setup_env. In reality however, oem is a very useful tool to get the job done. So that leads me into the question of using the Chef client on a VIO.
Currently a big push to manage all our *nix... (4 Replies)
I have a broken PV in a VIO VG that's used to support client LPARs using LVs. On the client LPAR, I reduced all PVs from the relevant client VG and thus deleted it. I.e. there is no client LPAR using the VIO VG. Yet when I try to reducevg the VIO VG, it complains that the LV hosted on the PV is... (2 Replies)

aoecfg(8) System Manager's Manual aoecfg(8)NAME
aoecfg - manipulate AoE configuration strings
SYNOPSIS
aoecfg [-c cmd] [-s cfgstr] [-t timeout] [shelf slot] [netif]
DESCRIPTION Aoecfg(8) sends AoE configuration commands that control the retrivial, conditional or unconditional setting of AoE configuration strings.
Since configuration happens before the MAC address of the target is known, the packet is broadcast. AoE targets with a matching shelf and
slot respond. Since the default shelf and slot are the wildcard values 0xffff and 0xff, with no arguments aoecfg(8) will return configura-
tion strings from all targets visible on the default interface, eth0.
OPTIONS -c cmd specify the AoE configuration command. The default is read. The available commands are
read Read the server config string without performing any test and respond.
test Respond only if the specified string exactly matches the server configuration string.
prefix Respond only if the specified string is a prefix of the server configuration string.
set If the current server config string is empty, set the server config string to the argument string and respond. If the current server
config string is not empty, return a response with Flags bit E set and Error set to 4.
fset Force set the server config string to the argument string and respond.
-s cfgstr
specify the config string.
-t timeout
specify the timeout in seconds. The default is no timeout. If neither the shelf nor the slot are specified, aoecfg(8) will exit
after the first result. Otherwise, aoecfg(8) will exit only after the timeout has expired since it does not know how many
responses to expect.
shelf slot
specify the shelf and slot used in the query. If unspecified, they default to broadcast.
netif specifiy the network interface. The default is eth0.
