so, as you can see im new to aix, but i know my way around linux, im guessing:
"the cards are atached to the js21 but not configured to any of the lpars"
now my questions are:
1.- why (if those are the cards) i cant see a wwn?
2.- how can i atach one card to one lpar? - please i have looked on google a lot, and i mean... a lot, i even downloaded the ibm redbook for js21
one other thing... i see kind of strange the output of the lscfg | grep fs so i did a

I will spare you the infraction this time for being new - sort of cubs protection. This doesn't mean i haven't noticed or i do condone it.
Note sure but I think you can not assigne the HBA to LPAR in VIOS/IVM. What you can do is you can directly assigne the Hdisk which are on the HBA to LPAR through vhost mapping.
I don't know much about the VIOS and IBM. May be this redbook can help you.
What type of blade center are you using? If it is an IBM (I presume as you are running a Pseries blade) then the fiber connections, on the new blade centers, all run through 2 Brocade fiber switches at the back of the blade center. I am not a blade center specialist but if memory servers me correct there is a certain sequence to the way the blade slot numbers tie up to the port numbers on the internal Brocade switch. It might also be possible to get ww names from the blade center manager console. But if you need to connect to SAN disk, I presume you will use the internal Brocade switch and zone the corresponding ports/wwn with each blade and the relative storage controller.
As for assigning a fiber adapter to an LPAR through VIO, that is not possible. There are only 2 things that VIO can do (pre-PowerVM):
Virtualized network
Virtualized disk
So you will assign disks to the VIOS and then map them accordingly to the client LPAR's. The client LPAR wont see any fcs/fiber adapters.
As Mayank Shah correctly stated "lscfg -vl fcs0" is the correct command to check the ww names. But I am not sure if that works on the Pseries blades, but try it. If that fiber adapter is part of the blade then it should work, but if the fiber connection is done through the blade center then I don't think it will work? Not sure though, let us know what you find
There can be configurations in IBM Server wherein a
standalone partition is created on some supported IBM Server
Or
A VIOS - VIOC LPARs created.
Now in both cases they are lpars. But if I want to differentiate b/w a standalone LPAR vs an VIOC LPAR how can I do..?

How to get LUN WWN (i.e LUN mapped from a storage box say Symmetrix or clariion) in Solaris. fcinfo command does give the Target port wwn but what i'm looking for is the LUN WWN. Any help is appreciated. (2 Replies)
Hi All :)
i would like to know if i can customize the WWN of the new VFC (NPIV).
Or, if i must move the LPAR on another server with another FCS, i have to change the zoning??
Thanks in advance.

If i am changing the controller/SFP in IBM DS 5000 series is there any chance of changing WWN.Where it (WWN)will be located. When will be the chance of WWN change.

Hi all,
I have the following configuration
2 ds3524 storage disk systems located over 2 locations
