7.6.6. Setting an SR-IOV Adapter from Shared back to Dedicated
The operating mode of an SR-IOV adapter can only be changed if no logical ports are configured! In order to set such an adapter back to dedicated, all logical ports must be removed. The list of logical ports can be obtained by using the option “-l” (logical ports) with the command “ms lssriov“:
$ ms lssriov -l ms03
LOCATION_CODE ADAPTER PPORT LPORT LPAR CAPACITY CURR_MAC_ADDR CLIENTS

If all logical ports have been deleted, see the previous subsection, then the SR-IOV adapter can be set back to dedicated with the help of “ms chsriov“:
$ ms chsriov ms03 P1-C11-T1 dedicated
