Then go to "Virtual Ethernet Bridge" and you will see a adapter.
Basically you are bridging two HEA adapters for redundancy.
thanks a lot
you know I can continue bothering you with question since I pretty lost in this topic for instance you say SEA makes no sense when having one VIO but my previous partner configured SEA... weird.
any documentation to read and continue after this since now I have to understand more about networking in VIO

ethers(5) File Formats Manual ethers(5)
Name
ethers - database that maps Ethernet addresses to hostnames
Description
The file is used in conjunction with the reverse address resolution protocol daemon, to map Ethernet addresses to hostnames. It contains
information about the known (48-bit) Ethernet addresses of hosts on the Internet.
For each host on an Ethernet, a single line should be present in the file with the following information:
Ethernet-address official-host-name
Items are separated by one or more spaces or tabs. A number sign (#) indicates the beginning of a comment that extends to the end of line.
The standard form for Ethernet addresses is:
x:x:x:x:x:x
The x is a hexadecimal number between 0 and ff, representing 1 byte. The address bytes are always in network order.
Hostnames can contain any printable character other than a space, tab, newline, or number sign (#).
Hostnames in the file should correspond to the hostnames in the file or to those provided by the name service.
Examples
The following is a sample file: 08:00:20:01:e5:1c host1 # Comments go here 08:00:20:01:d0:4c host2 # Comments go
here 08:00:20:01:e0:1d host3 # Comments go here 08:00:20:00:c2:4e host4 # Comments go here
