VIO and AIX 5.3
If you want to connect modems to CLPARs, is it correct that you can not use the internal serial ports of the p5? Do you need to install additional serial adapters, one for each CLPAR and modem, and dedicate these to the CLPARs? What are the SPCN0 and the SPCN1 ports, located close to the HMC1... -
VIO and AIX 5.3
1. If you have single VIO connected to a SAN Volume Controller (SVC) sharing a SVC-vdisk, does it work to install the sub-system device driver (sdd) on the VIOS, and then share the resulting vpath to a CLPAR? 2. If you have two VIOS, each having an HBA connected to a SVC sharing a SVC-vdisk... -
VIO and AIX 5.3
Question on increasing the size of a vSCSI disk. I have a FAStT600 attached to the VIO-server. A FAStT600 LUN "RAID5_FC_1" is represented in the VIO-server as hdisk3. This physical volume is in turn mapped to a logical partition LPAR2 as hdisk4. hdisk4 is in turn part of the volume group... -
VIO and AIX 5.3
Hello! Do any of you know any statistics that say how stable a VIO-server is? Do they crash? -
VIO and AIX 5.3
Ok, Axel, sounds like a good solution! Do I understand you correct when I say that you give each VIO partition one disk, or do you mirror the rootvgs on both VIO partitions?! That would need 4 disks dedicated to VIO! At the moment I am running only one VIO server and it has the rootvg mirrored... -
VIO and AIX 5.3
Hello, It is not so good to create logical volumes in the rootvg of the Virtual I/O Server and serve these logical volumens to client LPARs? I think I read a recommendation to not do so, in case that you need to backup or update the VIO-server or something. Do you guys have any opinion in the... -
VIO and AIX 5.3
hfaix and axel, What you are saying is that the availability is very low having only one HMC. There must be some way to work around the problematic scenario I described above (Feb 25, 2005)?! Maybe coming code releases will enable to set a default start-order for the partitions used when the p5... -
VIO and AIX 5.3
Ok. Imagine that the HMC fails (the internal disk or something else), and during the time it is repaired/replaced the electricity fails. In this case the eServer has be able to reboot without HMC interaction. If the default start-order of the LPARs doesn't work, this would be a problem, and the... -
VIO and AIX 5.3
Hello everybody! hfaix, you wrote:: "I run my vio's boot from san, and serve up vscsi FC disk to LPARs. Seems to work good from one vio.". Do your LPARs boot from SAN? I have problems with the VIO-server serving SAN-disks as physical volumes used as rootvgs in the LPARs. The VIO-server...
