The most likely cause is that the virtual interface you defined is not on the shared ethernet adapter.
How would I confirm that is the problem and then fix that if it turns out to be the case?
In my mind I think that there is a 1:1 relationship between physical ethernet adapter ports and LPAR connections, but I guess this might not be the case.
thb I don't fully understand how this all ties together...
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)
Hello
I have a system with four AIX 5L V5.3 partitions and a Virtual I/O server, connected to a a DS4800 storage array.
Now the company bought another DS4800... i made raid on it... and now i wanna give LUN's to the VIOS, so i can use in one of AIX partitions...
Someone can help me?

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)

vconfig
VCONFIG(8) System Manager's Manual VCONFIG(8)NAME
vconfig - VLAN (802.1q) configuration program.
SYNOPSIS
vconfig [lots of long options]
DESCRIPTION
The vconfig program allows you to create and remove vlan-devices on a vlan enabled kernel. Vlan-devices are virtual ethernet devices which
represents the virtual lans on the physical lan.
OPTIONS
add [interface-name] [vlan-id]
Creates a vlan-device on [interface-name]. The resulting vlan-device will be called according to the nameing convention set.
rem [vlan-device]
Removes the named vlan-device.
set_flag [vlan-device] 0 | 1
When 1, ethernet header reorders are turned on. Dumping the device will appear as a common ethernet device without vlans. When
0(default) however, ethernet headers are not reordered, which results in vlan tagged packets when dumping the device. Usually the
default gives no problems, but some packet filtering programs might have problems with it.
set_egress_map [vlan-device] [skb-priority] [vlan-qos]
This flags that outbound packets with a particular skb-priority should be tagged with the particular vlan priority vlan-qos. The
default vlan priority is 0.
set_ingress_map [vlan-device] [skb-priority] [vlan-qos]
This flags that inbound packets with the particular vlan priority vlan-qos should be queued with a particular skb-priority. The
default skb-priority is 0.
set_name_type VLAN_PLUS_VID | VLAN_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD | DEV_PLUS_VID | DEV_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD
Sets the way vlan-device names are created. Use vconfig without arguments to see the different formats.
NOTES VLAN will use Broadcom's NICE interface when the network device supports it. This is necessary, since usually the hardware of these
devices already removes the vlan tag from the ethernet packet. The set_flag option on vlan-devices created on such a physical net-
work device will be ignored. Dumping the network-device will show only untagged(non-vlan) traffic, and dumping the vlan-devices
will only show traffic intended for that vlan, without the tags.
