I am wondering if there is a command I can run from **with-in** LPAR server (server01) to find out the hostname or IP address or other parameters for VIO server in charge of server01?
There isn't anyway I know of to get the hostname, IP, or even the LPAR id of the VIO server your LPAR is going through. You can, however, find the serial number of your managed system and that limits down the VIO search to just the VIO servers on that physical box. You can then compare the slot numbers of the client vscsi's to those on the VIO servers and figure out where it is connected.
You can see with this output that this LPAR is running on the managed system with serial number "200888E" and is connected to a VIO server on port C60.
You would then have to run an "lsmap -all" command and find this slot number on the VIO server:
If you are using the same slot numbers on both of your VIO servers, this can complicate things a little more, but by examing the "lsmap -all" output on your VIO servers, you could figure it out.

1. I have created an LPAR in the HMC.
2. I have allocated the storage from an Hitachi AMS2500 and assigned it to the host group.
3. I have zoned the LPAR and Storage on a Brocade 5100. (The zone sees the AMS)
Next I activated the LPAR in the HMC, SMS mode for the mksysb... (3 Replies)
Hi
In my vio server I have the below output

Hi All,
I've been trying to create a new LPAR for some days now but I can't get the VIO server to recognize the new LPAR. This is what I did:
On HMC create new LPAR
On HMC create new virtual scsi adapter for LPAR in VIO profile
On HMC add new virtual scsi adapter for LPAR with DLPAR... (6 Replies)
Just a question which may seem dumb to some out there, but then again I am not a super technie so that's my excuse.
Is it possible to say provision a test AIX LPAR (has a 10gb boot lun and 20gb data) under a VIO which has connectivity to SAN Array A so it can see the disks provisioned to it,... (2 Replies)
Whenever I assign/unassign a CDROM ( RAID CTRL ) to Active LPAR from HMC, I have to reboot the LPAR.
How can I do it without rebooting the LPARS.
POWER6 with HMC
LPARS = AIX 6.1
Any info

We have a frame the uses 2 vios that assign disk storage to LPAR's. We have a LPAr with multiple disk and I want to know how do I tell which vio is serving the disk. For example the LPAr has hdisk 0, 1, 2, 3 all the same size. I want to know which vio is serving hdisk0, 1. (4 Replies)
Can you have a Dynamic LPAR without VIO and if yes is there a benefit to having both? I am attempting to implement VIO and Resource pooling at my company and want to understand the limitations.
Also, I have been told the managing and allocation of the Logical Volumes is a time consuming task as... (0 Replies)
I have a standard template I deploy for each of my AIX servers. It's in a mksysb format which I pulled via the nim server after I originally set it up.
I'm trying to restore this mksysb over the wire to a remote system. The remote system is an lpar running under vio (no HMC attached). The disk... (1 Reply)
