Prerequisites for installing VIOS
Hello, I am trying to setup LPARs on a p7 system.
There is an existing install of AIX 7.1 that we have been using for various tasks. Can I install VIOS on top of this existing OS without any other prep work? Or is it advisable to install a fresh copy of AIX before installing VIOS on it?
edit: My question was based off an incorrect assumption. I thought VIOS was an application to be installed on top of an operating system, but it appears to be a mini OS of its own.
