A virtual Ethernet adapter is to be added to the LPAR aix01 with IBM PowerVM. The data in detail:
-
- HMC: hmc01
- managed system: ms25
- LPAR: aix01
- profile: standard
- virtual slot number: 4
- Port-VLAN-ID: 900
- virtual Ethernet switch: ETHERNET0(default)
- additional VLANs: none
The command on the associated HMC hmc01 is:
hscroot@hmc01:~> chhwres -m ms25 -r virtualio --rsubtype eth -o a -p aix01 -s 2 -a 'ieee_virtual_eth=0,port_vlan_id=900' hscroot@hmc01:~>
If the currently used profile of the LPAR is not automatically synchronized, then the additional virtual Ethernet adapter should also be added to the profile:
hscroot@hmc01:~> chsyscfg -r prof -m ms25 -i 'lpar_name=aix01,name=standard,"virtual_eth_adapters+=""4/0/900///0"""' hscroot@hmc01:~>
With our LPAR tool, the command to use looks like this:
$ lpar addeth aix01 4 900 $
The current profile is automatically adjusted.
