I was waiting for other comments - it has been a while since I have been taught a class using HEA - the HMC code might be improved - but a few years back one of the common things that went wrong was that after a HEA port was configured into promiscuous mode people still tried to use it in multiple partitions and got mixed results.

So, in the HMC you need to open the HEA tab and verify the port is only assigned to a single partition (in this case the VIOS).

I do not have an HMC or a POWER6 system, so I cannot provide commands to check/set HEA at system level and lhea at profile level.

REPARTITION(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    REPARTITION(8)

NAME

       repartition - load a partition table

SYNOPSIS

       repartition device [partition-file]

DESCRIPTION

       Repartition  uploads  a new partition table for the partitions of device.  The table is obtained from the first sector of partition-file if
       given, device otherwise.  Device may refer to the whole drive or a primary partition, depending on whether you want to upload  a  partition
       or a subpartition table.  The partitions will be truncated to fit within the enclosing device like the disk driver does, unless the numbers
       are coming from partition-file.

EXAMPLES

       repartition /dev/hd0
       repartition /dev/hd4 /etc/hd4.table

       Reload the partition table of drive 0 setting /dev/hd[1-4], and the subpartition table of /dev/hd4 setting /dev/hd4[a-d] using a file.  The
       latter may be useful if you need more than the 4 subpartitions a single Minix partition gives you.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The new table is printed on standard output.

FILES

       /dev/hd[0-9]

SEE ALSO

       hd(4), part(8).

BUGS

       The disk must be in use for the changes to stick.  The partition table of an idle disk will be reloaded on the first open.
