The Add Virtual Network wizard

You can use the Add Virtual Network wizard in the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to add an existing virtual network or to add a new virtual network to the server.

You can complete the following tasks by using the Add Virtual Network wizard:
  • Create internal or bridged networks.
  • Create tagged or untagged virtual networks.
  • Create a virtual network on an existing or a new virtual switch.
  • Create a load group or select an existing load group.
Note: When you add a virtual network, the wizard prompts you to create a network bridge to support the new virtual network. You can connect the new virtual network to an existing network bridge or create a network bridge. If you select the untagged network, you are prompted to create a new network bridge. If the physical network adapters are unavailable to create a network bridge, you cannot select an untagged network.
