Finishing the Integrated Virtualization Manager installation

After you install the Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM), you need to accept the license agreement, check for updates, configure the TCP/IP connection.

1. Log in to the management partition with the user ID padmin.
2. When prompted, change the login password to a secure password that adheres to your local password-security guidelines.
3. Accept the Virtual I/O Server license agreement by using the license command. For more information about using this command, see Virtual I/O Server and IVM commands.
4. Ensure that there is a network connection configured between the management partition and at least one of the physical Ethernet adapters on the managed system. This allows you to access the IVM interface from a computer that is connected to the physical Ethernet adapter. You cannot use the HMC1 and HMC2 ports to connect to the management partition.
5. Configure the TCP/IP connection for the Virtual I/O Server management partition by using the mktcpip command. For example: mktcpip -hostname fred -inetaddr 9.5.4.40 -interface en0 -start -netmask 255.255.255.128 -gateway 9.5.4.1 -nsrvaddr 9.10.244.200 -nsrvdomain austin.century.com You must configure TCP/IP before you can perform any dynamic logical partitioning operations. IVM version 1.5.2, and later, supports the use of IPv6 addresses. For more information about using the mktcpip command, see Virtual I/O Server and IVM commands.
6. Connect to the Web interface or the command-line interface. For instructions, see one of the following tasks:
   • Connecting to the IVM Web-based interface
   • Connecting to the Virtual I/O Server command-line interface
7. Check for updates to the IVM. For instructions, see Viewing and updating the code level of the Integrated Virtualization Manager management partition.
