Configuring the Virtual I/O Server
You need to configure virtual Small Computer Serial Interface (SCSI) and virtual Ethernet devices on the Virtual I/O Server. Optionally, you can also configure virtual Fibre Channel adapters, Tivoli® agents and clients, and configure the Virtual I/O Server as an LDAP client.
- Configuring virtual SCSI on the Virtual I/O Server
You can configure virtual Small Computer Serial Interface (SCSI) devices by deploying a system plan, creating volume groups and logical volumes, and configuring the Virtual I/O Server to support SCSI-2 reserve functions. - Getting started with shared storage pools by using the VIOS command line
Learn about using the Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) command-line interface to manage shared storage pools. - Getting started with shared storage pools by using the VIOS configuration menu
Learn about using the Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) configuration menu to manage shared storage pools. - Getting started with Trusted Logging
Learn about using the Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) command line to configure the Trusted Logging capability for increased log security. - Getting started with Trusted Firewall
Learn about using the Trusted Firewall feature that is supported on the PowerSC Editions. You can use this feature to perform intervirtual LAN routing functions by using the Security Virtual Machine (SVM) kernel extension. - Configuring virtual Ethernet on the Virtual I/O Server
You can configure virtual Ethernet devices by deploying a system plan, create and configure a Shared Ethernet Adapter (SEA), and configure a Link Aggregation device. - Assigning the virtual Fibre Channel adapter to a physical Fibre Channel adapter
To enable N-Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) on managed systems, connect the virtual Fibre Channel adapter on the Virtual I/O Server logical partition to a physical port on a physical Fibre Channel adapter. - Configuring the IBM Tivoli agents and clients on the Virtual I/O Server
You can configure and start the IBM® Tivoli Monitoring agent, IBM Tivoli Usage and Accounting Manager, the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager client, and the IBM Tivoli TotalStorage Productivity Center agents. - Configuring the Virtual I/O Server as an LDAP client
Virtual I/O Server Version 1.4 can be configured as an LDAP client and then you can manage Virtual I/O Server from an LDAP server. - Configuring the Virtual I/O Server for the VSN capability
If you are using the Hardware Management Console (HMC) Version 7 Release 7.7.0, or later, you can use Virtual Station Interface (VSI) profiles with virtual Ethernet adapters in logical partitions and assign the Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA) switching mode to virtual Ethernet switches.
