Managing Virtual I/O Servers
You can manage a Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) by using the Virtual I/O Servers option listed under the PowerVM® area of the interface available in the Hardware Management Console (HMC).
The Virtual I/O Servers option displays a list of Virtual I/O Servers that are configured in the managed system. It also displays information about each VIOS configuration such as allocated memory, allocated processing units, allocated virtual processors, RMC status property, operating system (OS) version information, and status.
Note:
- The recommended VIOS level is 2.2.3.3 or later. If the VIOS is not at the recommended level you may not get optimal performance and certain functions such as Shared Storage Pool management will not be available.
- If your VIOS license is not accepted, some of these properties will not get populated and you will not be able to fully manage the VIOS. When your VIOS license is not accepted, the OS version information will show the version as License not accepted.
