Synchronizing the virtual switch mode
When a Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) logical partition is in the shutdown state during the activation of a logical partition or when the external switch is downgraded, the Virtual Station Interface (VSI) profile type information is not updated in the VIOS.
When any of the VIOS logical partitions that are servicing the virtual switch or when the adjacent connected virtual switches are not in the current switching mode, you must synchronize the switching mode. You can synchronize the switching mode by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC).
To synchronize the virtual switch mode, complete the following steps:
- In the navigation pane, expand Systems Management, click Servers, and select the server on which the logical partition is located.
- In the Tasks pane, click .
- Select the virtual switch from the list, and click .
- Click OK.
