VIOS Images

Define VIOS images and installation resources for the operating environment that the Hardware Management Console (HMC) can access and use.

You can access the following tasks:

Manage Virtual I/O Server Image Repository
As of HMC version 7.7, or later, you can store the Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) images from a DVD, a saved image, or a Network Installation Management (NIM) server on the HMC. The stored VIOS images can be used for VIOS installation. You must be an HMC super administrator (hmcsuperadmin) to install the VIOS image.
Manage Virtual I/O Server Backups
With HMC version 9.2.950, or later, you can manage the I/O configuration of Virtual I/O Servers and manage the backup of the VIOS image on the management console.
