On the VIOS, don't allocate an IP address to the adapter
configure the SEA, then create virtual adapter on the vios and add the IP to the virtual adapter.
For the fibre, are you saying you are booting the VIOS from SAN? No internal disks on the frame that you could use instead?
How many client VMs are you going to serve with the VIOS - will you have another VIOS on the same frame for redundancy ?

Hey
May be a dumb question
Can I use a SPOT which is at 5.3 TL6 to boot an LPAR (with 5.3 TL8) in to maintenance mode? Will it work ?
Is it mandatory that SPOT should be of same or higher version in such case?

Hi
In the vio server when I do # lsattr -El hdisk*, I get a PVID. The same PVID is also seen when I put the lspv command on the vio client partition. This way Im able to confirm the lun using the PVID.
Similarly how does the vio client partition gets the virtual ethernet scsi client adapter... (1 Reply)

Hi All,
I have a p520 box running 3 LPARs, 1 x VIOS, 1 x AIX 6.1 and 1 x AIX 7.1 and no HMC, all configuration is performed via VIOS/IVM
Until recently the box did not have the AIX7.1 LPAR and everything was fine with the box.

fza(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual fza(4)
Name
fza - DEFZA FDDI Network Interface
Syntax
device fza0 at ibus? vector fzaintr
Description
The interface is a high speed TURBOchannel bus to a 100 Mbit/second Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) timed token ring network
adapter. The interface allows the host system to be an FDDI single attachment station.
The host's Internet address is specified at boot time with an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl. The interface employs the address resolution protocol
described in to map dynamically between Internet and FDDI addresses on the local network.
The maximum frame size for the interface is 4500 bytes, which is substantially larger that the 1500 bytes maximum packet size of the Ether-
net interfaces. The interface does not support the BSD trailer encapsulation, which is specific to the VAX architecture.
The SIOCRPHYSADDR ioctl can be used to read the physical address of the DEFZA adapter. The physical address of the DEFZA adapter can not be
changed.
The SIOCADDMULTI and SIOCDELMULTI ioctls can be used to add or delete multicast addresses. The DEFZA supports up to 64 multicast
addresses.
The SIOCRDCTRS ioctl can be used to read the FDDI driver counters. The DEFZA adapter status and characteristics can also be read through
this ioctl by providing a FDDI_STATUS flag . The argument to this ioctl is a pointer to a counter or status structure, found in <net/if.h>.
The SIOCENABLBACK and SIOCDISABLBACK ioctls can be used to enable and disable the interface loopback mode, respectively.
The SIOCEEUPDATE ioctl can be used to update the adapter's firmware.
The SIOCIFRESET ioctl can be used to reset the adapter.
Diagnostics
Diagnostic error messages contain information provided by the driver. For example:
fza%d: fzaprobe selftest failed
The DEFZA adapter did not pass the power-up selftest during autoconfiguration.
fza%d: port init failed
The DEFZA adapter cannot be initialized.
fza%d: port in the Halt State -> CNS hardware fault
The DEFZA adapter went to the Halt state because of an adapter firmware fault.
fza%d: LINK unavailable
The network link went down which means that the station is not on the FDDI ring.
fza%d: Ring Init Received
A Ring Initialization unsolicited event has been received from the fza%d interface.
