Managing virtual adapters dynamically
You can dynamically add and remove virtual adapters to and from running logical partitions using the Hardware Management Console (HMC).
About this task
Tasks that are related to managing the virtual adapters such as adding a virtual adapter or removing an adapter are a part of managing the logical partition. When you perform tasks on virtual storage (vSCSI, virtual Fibre Channel, virtual optical device, virtual network, virtual NICs), the virtual adapters operations are handled automatically. For more information about virtual storage, see Managing virtual storage. For more information about virtual networks, see Managing virtual networks. For more information about virtual Network Interface Controllers (vNICs), see Managing virtual Network Interface Controllers.
