VIOS Configuration Question
Hi Guys,

This is a general question relating to the building of VIO servers;

It has been a long time since I have done any serious AIX work, AIX 4.3 was new and I was for the most part working with 3.2.2 on older RS6000 kit.

So to the current day, I'm about to take delivery of some new tin which I have to plan, install and configure the first batch of tin will comprise.
  • Three Power 8 S824's
  • One HMC
  • One SVC
  • One EMC VNX5800 Disk Array

The S824's are customer install and will each come with 4 x Dual Port 16Gb HBA's and 4 x Quad Port 10Gb NIC's along with the 4 x 1Gb copper NIC.

So in simple terms my question is:- When building the VIO's can I assign LAN and SAN resource on a port by port basis, or do I have to assign a it on a card by card basis. I.E. can I assign a single port from a card or do I have to assign the whole card.

Currently each server will have a pair of VIOS and a NIM server as standard, well that's the plan.

Regards

Gull04

EX(4)							 BSD/i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual						     EX(4)

NAME

     ex -- Ethernet device driver for the Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 and Pro/10+

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

	   device ex

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   if_ex_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The ex driver provides support for Ethernet adapters based on the Intel i82595 chip.

     On the ISA bus, the card will be searched for in the I/O address range 0x200 - 0x3a0.  The IRQ will be read from the EEPROM on the card.  For
     correct operation Plug-N-Play support should be disabled.

     On the PC Card bus, the card will be automatically recognized and configured.

HARDWARE

     The ex driver supports the following Ethernet adapters:

     o	 Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 ISA
     o	 Intel EtherExpress Pro/10+ ISA
     o	 Olicom OC2220 Ethernet PC Card
     o	 Olicom OC2232 Ethernet/Modem PC Card
     o	 Silicom Ethernet LAN PC Card
     o	 Silicom EtherSerial LAN PC Card

DIAGNOSTICS

     ex%d: Intel EtherExpress Pro/10, address %6D, connector %s  The device probe found an installed card, and was able to correctly install the
     device driver.

     ex%d: WARNING: board's EEPROM is configured for IRQ %d, using %d  The device probe detected that the board is configured for a different
     interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file.

     ex%d: invalid IRQ.  The device probe detected an invalid IRQ setting.

SEE ALSO

     arp(4), netintro(4), ng_ether(4), ifconfig(8)

HISTORY

     The ex device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 2.2.

AUTHORS

     The ex device driver was written by Javier Martin Rueda.  The PC Card attachment was written by Mitsuru ISAWAKI and Warner Losh.  This manual
     page was written by David E. O'Brien.

BUGS

     Currently the driver does not support multicast.

     The Silicom EtherSerial card's serial port does not currently work.  The Olicom OC2232 PC Card should work with the ex driver, but is cur-
     rently completely broken.
