Re: P9 config questions

Roberto,

You need to use SSH and command line, you can't do this using GUI:

chsyscfg -r prof  -m  MYSERVER_NAME -i 'name=vios01, lpar_id=1,"virtual_scsi_adapters=99/server/2/vios02/99/0"'
chsyscfg -r prof  -m  MYSERVER_NAME -i 'name=vios02, lpar_id=2,"virtual_scsi_adapters=99/client/1/vios01/99/0"'

Diego, I've tried to have VIOS as a guest for vscsi and it's never worked,
the GUI doesn't let you set VIOS as a vscsi client, only server. Maybe the
enhanced gui does? I haven't tried it again.
Jim, the problem lies in that the network install is really a NIM install,
that uses an ethernet adapter local to the LPAR an therefore doesn't go
over the FSP link between HMC and POWER machine.

Best Regards,

Roberto

This is completely different than StorWise. If you follow IBM instructions
in building the USB device, it works well.

How can a network issue come into play when the HMC has a solid Ethernet
cable from the HMC port to the HMC? Now if you are running that connection
over a LAN and it's not in its own completely different network than any
other traffic, then we have some other items to discuss regarding security
and a host of other things.

You can install 1 VIOS from HMC (image repository), and then create the
other as gest to the 1st VIOS, but you must be quite sure this works.
Any small network issue and you are in big trouble.

With a DVD drive you can ask your H&E to insert the media and that's it.

Haven't tried with USB thumb drive, but I don't feel comfortable using
them.
I still remember first Storwize with SPECIAL usb pen drives, and HMCs with
STEC pen drives...

Roberto,
If they outsource recovery, upgrades, etc, that's one thing. But if
you're visiting COMMON US and they have a disaster and need to do a
bare metal restore they may wish they had a DVD on site. But perhaps
your firm has staff to cover...
