AIX: DLPAR VFC - HMC v9

Hey All,

I have running dual VIOS on a P9 systems, and just created a new LPAR profile. My objective is to create LPAR Client VFC adapters, and then DLPAR VFC Server adapters on the VIOS.

In the HMC v9 Enhanced GUI, I have DLPAR a VFC adapter to both VIOS, however, you can't specify the partner adapter to connect to? Why is that?

Also, when I use command line to DLPAR the VFC adapters using chhwres with the -s option, to specify the partner adapter when adding in the VFC adapters to a VIOS, it says that the VFC adapter with X value already has the X value partner adapter already associated with another adapter.
e.g In the VIOS profile, an existing Server Fibre Channel Adapter has Adapter ID 14 and Partner Adapter ID 11, and I want to DLPAR Server Fibre Channel Adapter Adapter ID 15 and Partner Adapter ID 11 (for another LPAR of course) and it won't allow.

Command:

Code:

chhwres -m xyz123 -r virtualio --rsubtype fc -o a -p VIOS_A  -a  "adapter_type=server,remote_lpar_name=xyz123,remote_slot_num=14" -s 11

Why is this failing? All existing Server Fibre Channel adapters in the VIOS profile all have obviously different Server Adapter IDs but all pointing to the same Partner Adapter IDs to their own LPAR clients.

siop

SIOP(4) 						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						   SIOP(4)

NAME

     siop -- Symbios Logic/NCR 53c8xx SCSI driver

SYNOPSIS

   hp700
     siop* at mainbus? irq 3
     siop* at phatomas? irq 3

   PCI
     siop* at pci? dev ? function ?

     options SIOP_SYMLED
     scsibus* at siop?

DESCRIPTION

     The siop driver provides support for the Symbios Logic/NCR 53x8xx series of SCSI controller chips:

	   -   53c810, 53c810a and 53c815 (Fast SCSI)
	   -   53c820, 53c825 and 53c825a (Fast-Wide SCSI)
	   -   53c860 (Ultra SCSI)
	   -   53c875 and 53c875j (Ultra-Wide SCSI)
	   -   53c876 (Dual Ultra-Wide SCSI)
	   -   53c885 (Ultra-Wide SCSI and Ethernet)
	   -   53c895 (Ultra2-Wide SCSI)
	   -   53c896 (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra2-Wide SCSI)
	   -   53c1010-33 (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra160 SCSI)
	   -   53c1510d (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra2-wide SCSI)
     The SIOP_SYMLED option causes the driver to report SCSI activity on the GPIO pin 1, which is connected to the activity LED on some adapters.
     At this time only the 53c895 based Symbios and Tekram adapters are known to require this.

     If both siop and the esiop(4) drivers are compiled, esiop(4) will take precedence for controllers it supports.

HISTORY

     The siop driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.5.

AUTHORS

     The siop driver was written by Manuel Bouyer <Manuel.Bouyer@lip6.fr> for NetBSD.

BUGS

     siop supports the 53c1010-33 in Ultra2-wide mode only.  Use esiop(4) for Ultra160 support.
