Hey guys, thanks for all the responses
As I was reading through the post, going through the settings, I found a discrepancy between my non-working LPAR & the working one:
Under Hardware Information -> Virtual I/O Adapters -> Ethernet, on my non-working one (AIX_SA) it shows this:

On the working one (AIX_CSS), it shows this:

Notice the "Virtual Adapter" field for AIX_SA is empty. Could this be the reason why it's not working? How do I fix this?
Thanks!

That's exactly it. It is all on VLAN 1.

On your lpar look at its properties then virtual adapters then your ethernet adapter...you should have a vlan number in there for "VLAN ID" and that vlan id number must be the correct one to match to one of the supported vlans ( which is a network ) on your SEA adapter on the vio. The vlan ID you use must be listed on the vio servers sea adapter properties and the vlan ID must correspond to the ip address you gave the server ( be in that subnet ).
This could be another cause of my problem. The working LPAR is on a different subnet comparing to the non-working one. Forgive me for being an amateur but do they have to be on the same subnet? The VIO's SEA is on the same subnet as the working one. Do I need to create another SEA if my LPAR is on a different subnet?
