Hi Bakunin,
Quote:
OK, first: WHERE do you see the DVD drive? From the below output i cannot see which system the output is from. The LPAR? The VIOS? Something else?
--> I see the DVD drive on the AIX lpar, not VIOS

Quote:
Note that the "-P2-" in the location code means "Planar 2". Your screenshot below only shows items from Planar 1. It is either wrong or incomplete.
--> sorry my fault. Please see full screenshots attached zip.

We don't have VIOS here. So any I/O devices have to be physical ones and assigned directly to the LPAR.

The strange here is I cannot find the location of DVD drive on hardware list of managed system.
