AIX virtualization: IVM initial network setup
I have a system model 505 p server. I am trying to virtualize my server. My network admin has given me 10 IP addresses (with the DNS already updated with names that map onto each ip). E.g.: IP1 maps to m1.lab, IP2 maps to m2.lab, etc

I have been following the redpaper "Integrated Virtualization Manager on IBM System p5". I managed to install VIOS without facing any problem but keep getting stuck in the initial network setup (2.6.3, pg 31). I am unable to get mktcpip command to work. I cannot access my IVM through the browser. I do not even understand what the settings are for the different parameters. Can someone please help me.
a) What should the parameters of mktcpip be?
- in particular, shoudl the parameters like hostname, ip addr, etc refer to a new virtual partition or to the physical host?
b) How do I troubleshoot mktcpip?

   Remarks
       The  Network  Information  Service  (NIS) was formerly known as Yellow Pages (YP).  The functionality of the two remains the same; only the

DESCRIPTION

       prints all values in a Network Information Service (NIS) map specified by mname, which can be either a mapname or a map	nickname.   A  map
       nickname  is a synonym by which a NIS map can be referenced.  Values are listed, one per line.  Since uses the NIS network services, no NIS
       server is specified.

   Options

	      Print the associated key preceding each value.
		      This option is useful for examining maps in which the values are null or the keys are not part of the  value,  such  as  the
		      ypservers map.  The maps derived from files that have an ASCII version in (such as and are not in this category.

	      Inhibit the translation of a map's
		      nickname to its corresponding mapname.  For example, fails because there is no map named whereas translates to

	      Specify a
		      domain other than the default domain, that is, one returned by (see domainname(1)).

	      Display the
		      nickname for each NIS map.
