So, I'm assuming that VIO/IVM is installed and owns all the hardware and the other partitions a guests rather than hardware partitions. That's what I have too.
There may be an issue with running an IVM based on AIX 6 with guests of AIX 7. Are you able to get to the shell prompt?
you would be best checking with IBM about supported configurations. It may be that you need to upgrade the IVM first, which might have an impact on you running AIX 6.1 partition. At the least, it will reboot, but I would be more concerned about any co-requisite updates your partition will need.
I am posting this as an FYI. I burned a lot of time on digging for this solution. The problem was performance between newer AIX p series boxes and a sun 4500 with a fiber nic. I tried many misc. solutions but this turned out to fix the issue. My bandwidth benchmark went from around 20MB/sec to... (1 Reply)
I have a system model 505 p server. I am trying to virtualize my server. My network admin has given me 10 IP addresses (with the DNS already updated with names that map onto each ip). E.g.: IP1 maps to m1.lab, IP2 maps to m2.lab, etc
I have been following the redpaper "Integrated Virtualization... (0 Replies)

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... (2 Replies)

I am facing problems in moving CD-ROM from one lpar to another.
CDROM can be seen on the POWERVM (IVM) server , but through the web-access if I move it ( assign it ) to LPAR it will be assigned. I run cfgmgr , and the cdrom does not show up in the LPAR. I firmly believe this is the reason why I... (2 Replies)

Hello,
I have some unclear about how VIOS uses its resources.
Assume that VIOS lpar has only 1 physical FC, and we use that to connect to the Lun. Then we install VIOS for the lpar on that Lun.
So my question is, afterward, we can still use that physical FC for the virtual FC we create... (3 Replies)

tgt-setup-lun(8) System Manager's Manual tgt-setup-lun(8)NAME
tgt-setup-lun - creates a target, adds a device to the target and defines initiators that can connect to the target
SYNOPSIS
tgt-setup-lun -d device -n target_name [initiator_IP1 initiator_IP2 ...] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
Starts tgtd if necessary and creates a target according to the supplied target_name. The format of the target name is as follows:
iqn.2001-04.com.<hostname>-<target_name> The target name must be unique.
The script then adds the requested device to the target. If specific IP addresses are defined, it adds them to the list of allowed initia-
tors for that target. If no IP addresses is defined, it defines that the target accepts any initiator.
EXAMPLES
Create a target that uses /dev/sdb1 and allows connections only from 192.168.10.81:
tgt-setup-lun -d /dev/sdb1 -n my_target 192.168.10.81
Create a target that uses /dev/sdb1 and allows connections only from 192.168.10.81 and 192.168.10.82:
tgt-setup-lun -d /dev/sdb1 -n my_target 192.168.10.81 192.168.10.82
Create a target that uses /dev/sdb1 and allows connections from any initiator:
tgt-setup-lun -d /dev/sdb1 -n my_target
Display help:
tgt-setup-lun -h
