Full Discussion: AIX VIOS IVM Ethernet problem

There is nothing wrong with your VIOS level for doing what you want to do.

The most likely cause is that the virtual interface you defined is not on the shared ethernet adapter. The slow startup is probably being caused by DNS timeouts.

To speed that up add:
Code:
RES_RETRY=2
RES_TIMEOUT=2

the the end of your /etc/environment file.

I have been supporting AIX 5.3.X, AIX 6.1 TLX and AIX 7.1 TLX in many combinations on p51a for years, and recently on a p505.

p.s. - there are newer versions of VIOS (2.2.2.something now) but that has nothing to do with your problem. And VIOS is on AIX 6.1 by design (AIX 6.1 may even live longer to prevent any forced update of VIOS to AIX >6).
