Modifying a single root I/O virtualization logical port that is assigned to a logical partition dynamically

You can modify a single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) logical port that is assigned to a running logical partition by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC).

1. In the navigation pane, open Systems Management and click Servers and click the managed system on which the logical partition is located.
2. Select the server in the work pane.
3. In the work pane, select the logical partition, click Tasks > Dynamic partitioning > SR-IOV Logical Ports.
4. In the SR-IOV Logical Ports page, select the SR-IOV logical port that you want to modify and click Action > Edit Logical Port.
5. In the Logical Port Properties page, in the Permissions area of the General tab, you can select the Diagnostic mode. The Promiscuous mode is available only with some advanced options.
6. Click the Advanced tab.
   1. If the Port VLAN ID field is displayed in the VLANs area, you can specify a value for the Port VLAN ID field. Specify a value of zero to not use a Port VLAN ID.
      Note: If Specify Allowable VLAN IDs was specified in the VLANs Restrictions area, the Port VLAN ID can only be changed from a non zero value to another non zero value.
   2. In the VLANs Restrictions area, if the Specify Allowable VLAN ID option was previously selected, then one or more new VLAN IDs can be added to the list. VLAN IDs cannot be removed from the list.
   3. If the Port VlAN ID (PVID) Priority field is displayed in the Properties area, you can specify a value for the Port VlAN ID (PVID) Priority field. The Port VLAN ID Priority applies only if a non zero PVID is specified.
   4. In the MAC Address Restrictions area, if the Specify Allowable MAC Addresses option was previously selected, then one or more new MAC Addresses can be added to the list. MAC Addresses cannot be removed from the list.
7. Click OK.
