You create it on the VIOS, not the IVM. You need to create a so-called "vhost". Here is a link where, as far as i saw in overviewing it, everything necessary is described: Virtual SCSI.
I hope this helps.

Thanks Bankunin,
Thanks for you help.
But I have another question needs your advices.
We have a LPAR, it crash last month, some delete file under /etc, so the AIX system cannot bootup correctly, so I did a restore on /etc, but there have an error during bootup.
I found there a file /etc/.lpar-boottime control on this, how can I re-create this file under maintenance mode to make the server bootup or any command bypass this checking?
We have a frame the uses 2 vios that assign disk storage to LPAR's. We have a LPAr with multiple disk and I want to know how do I tell which vio is serving the disk. For example the LPAr has hdisk 0, 1, 2, 3 all the same size. I want to know which vio is serving hdisk0, 1. (4 Replies)

Hello, we have a wierd and urgent problem, with a few of our p595 LPARs running AIX 5.3. The LPARs ran AIX 5.3 TL 7 and booted off EMC SAN disks, using EMC Powerpath. Every boot we run "pprootdev on" and "pprootdev fix". We can issue "bosboot -a" and we can reboot the machines.
Now, on two... (2 Replies)
Hi Everyone,
I have added new Virtual disk to OS. The main point is I need to bring this whole Disk into LVM control, is it necessary to partition the disk using fdisk command and assign partition type as '8e', or can I directly add that disk into LVM, by running pvcreate command with out... (2 Replies)
:wall::wall::wall:
1. I have created an LPAR in the HMC.
2. I have allocated the storage from an Hitachi AMS2500 and assigned it to the host group.
3. I have zoned the LPAR and Storage on a Brocade 5100. (The zone sees the AMS)
Next I activated the LPAR in the HMC, SMS mode for the mksysb... (3 Replies)
Hello,
VIOS 2.2.1.4 using IVM.
I'm trying to extend a virtual disk assigned to a running lpar so that I can expand the lpar's datavg and grow some filesystems for the user.
Storage admin expanded the lun and new size was reflected in VIO right away. I then needed the storage pool to... (2 Replies)
I added a disk to a zpool using "zpool add diskname"
My intention was mirror a zpool disk that no mirror; that is a zpool with only one disk. I did not issue the right command. Now, the disk has been added successfully but I cannot remove nor detach it as Solaris 11 thinks it has data on it... (14 Replies)

KPARTX(8) Linux Administrator's Manual KPARTX(8)NAME
kpartx - Create device maps from partition tables
SYNOPSIS
kpartx [-a | -d | -l] [-v] wholedisk
DESCRIPTION
This tool, derived from util-linux' partx, reads partition tables on specified device and create device maps over partitions segments
detected. It is called from hotplug upon device maps creation and deletion.
OPTIONS -a Add partition mappings
-r Readonly partition mappings
-r Read-only partition mappings
-d Delete partition mappings
-u Update partition mappings
-l List partition mappings that would be added -a
-p set device name-partition number delimiter
-f force creation of mappings; overrides 'no_partitions' feature
-g force GUID partition table (GPT)
-v Operate verbosely
-s Sync mode. Don't return until the partitions are created
EXAMPLE
To mount all the partitions in a raw disk image:
kpartx -av disk.img
This will output lines such as:
loop3p1 : 0 20964762 /dev/loop3 63
The loop3p1 is the name of a device file under /dev/mapper which you can use to access the partition, for example to fsck it:
fsck /dev/mapper/loop3p1
When you're done, you need to remove the devices:
kpartx -d disk.img
