I should point out that you can manage servers via the open non-DHCP network too. We have two sites separated by 250 miles or so. The HMC at each site has a private network to the local servers and public route access to those at the remote site. The same public network card is used for us to connect and it to manage remote servers.
It means that with have what is known as a remote-redundant configuration.
Consider if after a power loss (planned or not) your HMC refused to start. How would you power on and activate the servers/LPARs? Some can be done by the local interface with a browser to ASMI or perhaps with the serial port, but I wouldn't like to try it.

I created a profile in HMC for a new LPAR and activated it but not yet installed AIX.
Is there a step to make this new LPAR available as vhostX from the VIO server after creating and activating an HMC profile?
I already shared the CD-ROM device from the HMC profile.
Thanks.

Hi All,
Besides the licenses on VIO and LPAR. What's the main difference with the two? I have installed VIO, my manager told me so, because it's like a free hypervisor but I never installed LPAR before. How do you install it? And if you can give more info on the two, that would be great.
