Old 03-18-2013
Before (not I changed from above - watch line x104)
Code:
name,os_type,virtual_eth_adapters
x101,vioserver,"3/0/1//1/0,4/0/2//1/0,5/0/3//1/0,6/0/4//1/0"
x102,aixlinux,4/0/1//0/0
x103,aixlinux,4/0/1//0/0
x104,aixlinux,4/0/2//0/0
x105,aixlinux,4/0/1//0/0
x106,aixlinux,"4/0/2//0/0,5/0/1//0/0"
x107,aixlinux,"4/0/2//0/0,5/0/1//0/0"

Change lpar with name x104
padmin@x101:[/home/padmin]chsyscfg -r prof -i "lpar_name=x104","virtual_eth_adapters=4/0/1//0/0"
After:
Code:
padmin@x101:[/home/padmin]lssyscfg -r prof -F name,os_type,virtual_eth_adapters --header        
name,os_type,virtual_eth_adapters
x101,vioserver,"3/0/1//1/0,4/0/2//1/0,5/0/3//1/0,6/0/4//1/0"
x102,aixlinux,4/0/1//0/0
x103,aixlinux,4/0/1//0/0
x104,aixlinux,4/0/1//0/0
x105,aixlinux,4/0/1//0/0
x106,aixlinux,"4/0/2//0/0,5/0/1//0/0"
x107,aixlinux,"4/0/2//0/0,5/0/1//0/0"

So, for your system the command is:
Code:
chsyscfg -r prof -i "lpar_name=aix2.71","virtual_eth_adapters=4/0/1//0/0"

For "fun", start by pinging your AIX 7.1 partition before you run the command, and once it completes you should see your pings responding!

Thanks for your help, I tried this and get this result:
Code:
$ chsyscfg -r prof -i "lpar_name=aix2.71","virtual_eth_adapters=4/0/1//0/0"
[VIOSE03000147-0520] Virtual adapter defined for virtual slot number 4 is in use and cannot be removed.

And the ping still is not returning anything.

Do I need to shutdown my aix271 and/or aix261 LPARs first?

There is a force option, I am sure. But for now, just shutdown the aix2.71 partition.

Excellent, thanks a million... that worked once I had shutdown the LPAR run the command and restarted the LPAR

I can now access that 71 LPAR via PuTTy and the ping works now too Smilie Smilie

Glad it is all working.

Next time you create a partition, choose "Create based on" from the pull down menu.
