8. Virtual I/O Server
The previous topics so far, were mainly about LPARs, respectively the virtual guest systems or VMs. However, many of the virtualization options presented, require one (or more) virtual I/O servers. Virtual I/O ultimately has to use physical I/O adapters, which are then typically assigned to virtual I/O servers. This chapter therefore deals with topics related to virtual I/O servers.
