CMMVC9912E The command failed because the specified Ethernet port can only be used for system
management.
Explanation
This error occurs when the specified port to create an IP address is a management
port. Management ports are only used for system management. Functions such as IP connectivity to
hosts and partner systems, iSCSI virtualization, and IP replication are provided by the optional
adapters that are installed in the nodes.
User response
Complete the following steps to fix this error:
Use the svcinfo lsportethernet command to identify the non-management
Ethernet ports in the system.
Retry the command by specifying a non-management Ethernet port that is suitable for the intended
usage.
