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)

rarpc - Reverse Address Resolution Protocol client
SYNOPSIS
count] interface_name
DESCRIPTION
the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol client, implements the client portion of the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (see It sends RARP
requests for the specified interface's hardware address and waits for the response from the RARP server. can be used during boot-time ini-
tialization to find the IP address of an interface. To do so, set the i] variable of interface i with in
Options are:
Print debugging information.
Use ethernet encapsulation only.
Use SNAP encapsulation only.
Transmits count requests and waits for each one to time out before
giving up.
interface_name Identifies the interface to request information about.
If a response is received, it prints the IP address to its standard output. This information can be used to configure the interface as
seen in
If a response is not received, the client will retransmit after 2 seconds, and then after 4 seconds. After that, retransmissions occur
every 8 seconds.
RETURN VALUE
Exit status is 1 if the command fails or no RARP response is received. Exit status is 0 and the IP address is printed to standard output
if a response is received.
LIMITATIONS
1. The client cannot be run at the same time a daemon is running on the same interface.
2. The client supports only ethernet, 100VG and FDDI network interfaces.
