Thanks for the replies..am not thorough with the concepts..but isnt DLPAR a feature iof VIOS?And the p4 doesnt support VIOS..so..

I have access to a p4 and also a p5. I wanna install a dual VIOS and also a HACMP. And a linux on one of the LPARs.

I have the s/w for HACMP and VIOS. Is there a free linux distro that would work on the power systems or do I need to buy one? And is there a way to install the second VIO server? I was thinking I could configure a NAS on my laptop (for the second HDD adapter) But do need an additional n/w card on the p5. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help again.

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. SEE ALSO
cd(4), ch(4), esiop(4), intro(4), pci(4), scsi(4), sd(4), st(4), uk(4) 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. BSD
