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?

ypserv

YPSERV(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						 YPSERV(8)

NAME

     ypserv -- YP server daemon

SYNOPSIS

     ypserv [-1] [-a aclfile] [-d] [-x]

DESCRIPTION

     Ypserv is a fundamental part of the network information system called YP.	This server provides information from YP maps to the YP clients on
     the network.

     A YP map is stored on the server as a db(3) database. A number of YP maps is grouped together in a domain.  Ypserv determines the domains it
     serves by looking for a directory with the domain name in /var/yp.

     YP hasn't been known for high security through the years. In recent years security has improved by restricting access to the server. In SunOS
     4.1 has a new file occured named /var/yp/securenet.  It contains networks the server can assume is secure. For information about file format
     see securenet(5).

     Before the author of this server had seen securenet(5) another format was implemented ypserv.acl(5).  This file format makes it possible to
     allow and deny hosts and networks access to the server. This file can have any name since it's given by the argument to -a (use full path).

     The file used can be reread by sending a SIGHUP to ypserv. The process pid can be found in the file /var/run/ypserv.pid

     If a host isn't secure all queries to the server will result in a YP_NODOM result.

     If the file /var/yp/ypserv.log exists then messages will be written to the file.

     If a directory named the same as the system domainname exists in /var/yp/ (ie. the domainname is foo and directory /var/yp/foo exists), then
     ypserv will be automatically started at boot time.

     The options are as follows:

     -1      Allow ypserv to answer old YP version 1 requests.

     -a aclfile
	     Don't use /var/yp/securenet.  Use another file with another file format. For futher information see man page for ypserv.acl.

     -d      Use Internet Domain Name System. If a query to map hosts.byname or hosts.byaddr fails, make a DNS query and return the result if suc-
	     cessful.  Alternately, if these maps were built on the YP master using makedbm -b then DNS queries will be done without needing to
	     specify -d.

     -x      Terminate the server after processing aclfile or /var/yp/securenet.

FILES

     /var/yp/ypserv.log
     /var/yp/securenet
     /var/run/ypserv.pid
