Finishing the Virtual I/O Server installation
After you install Virtual I/O Server, you must check for updates, set up remote connects, create additional user IDs, and so on.
This procedure assumes that Virtual I/O Server is installed. For instructions, see Installing the Virtual I/O Server and client logical partitions.
To finish the installation, complete the following steps:
- Accept the software maintenance terms and conditions, and the Virtual I/O Server product license. For instructions, see Viewing and accepting the Virtual I/O Server license.
- Check for updates to the Virtual I/O Server. For instructions, see Updating the Virtual I/O Server.
- Set up remote connections to the Virtual I/O Server. For instructions, see Connecting to the Virtual I/O Server by using OpenSSH.
- Optional: Create the following additional user IDs. After the installation, the only active user ID is the prime administrator (padmin). You can create the following additional user IDs: system administrator, service representative, and development engineer. For information about creating user IDs, see Managing users on the Virtual I/O Server.
- Configure the TCP/IP connection for the Virtual I/O Server using the mktcpip command. You must complete this task before you can perform any dynamic logical partitioning operations. Alternatively, you can use the configuration assistance menu to configure TCP/IP connections. You can access the configuration assistance menu by running the cfgassist command.
When you are finished, do one of the following tasks:
- Create client logical partitions. Note: You do not need to perform this task if you deployed a system plan to create all your client logical partitions.
- Configure the Virtual I/O Server and install client operating systems. For information, see Configuring the Virtual I/O Server and Logical partitioning. For more information about Logical partitioning, see Logical partitioning.
