After you install Virtual I/O Server,
you must check for updates, set up remote connects, create additional user
IDs, and so on.
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 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:
- If you installed the Virtual I/O Server,
client logical partitions, and operating systems by completely deploying a
system plan, your setup is complete. For information about how to manage the Virtual I/O Server, see Managing the Virtual I/O Server.
- If you installed the Virtual I/O Server manually
using HMC version 6 or
version 7, you need to configure the Virtual I/O Server,
create client logical partitions, and install client operating systems. For
information, see Configuring the Virtual I/O Server and the Logical partitioning. To view the PDF file of Logical partitioning, approximately 1 MB in size, see
