VIOS requirement for FC and ethernet

Hello,

I have some unclear about how VIOS uses its resources.

Assume that VIOS lpar has only 1 physical FC, and we use that to connect to the Lun. Then we install VIOS for the lpar on that Lun.
So my question is, afterward, we can still use that physical FC for the virtual FC we create later?

This can be same mechanism with virtual ethernet?
I have 1 physical ethernet assigned to vios, and configure IP on that, everything is fine until I tried to map another virtual ethernet to it and got the issue below:

Code:
$ mkvdev -sea ent0 -vadapter ent2 -default ent2 -defaultid 2
Adapter ent0 has an interface configured over it, or it belongs to another SEA, VLAN or EtherChannel
Command did not complete.

All of these mean that we have to use another physical device (FC, ethernet) for virtual devices??

Please advise me. Very appreciated Smilie
