Oops, right, my bad. I have overread that 710 piece somehow.

Thanks agent.kdb. I did not know that, last time I was working on power 770, I was with our Network admin, he helped me do the cabling.I did the rest. Went very smooth surprisingly for a dumb guy like me .So for the client LPAR , we will create virtual Ethernet with vlan 1 also? But the IP address of the host will be limited subnet ? I wish I can have this post open when I actually do the work, so if I get in trouble , I can get answer , trust me , this blog sometime work better than IBM support. I never worked on power 710. I think I will just have one VIO server (only two SCSI hard drive , I want to have the option mirroring in case hard drive dies), use that machine for only NON - prod servers. I just downloaded redbook manual for 710. Looks like they do have virtualize option. we just ordered code and memory DIMM. We planned bump up memory from 32 GB to 128 GB. Also about to order 8 GB FC (for NPIV) because in the machine we only have 4 GB FC, any tips will be much appreciated .
