====== AIX:Add a new LUN on a LPAR through VIOS ====== To install a VIOS with NIM, you have to use the installation CD of the VIOS * After the LUN creation on DS8000, and map to VIOS (minimum 2) * On the first VIOS as padmin (ex: vios1) [padmin@vios1]/home/padmin# cfgdev * The new LUN is discover * Affect a PVID (usefull, because it's easier to find a LUN on multiple server: vios1, vios2, and target LPAR) [padmin@vios1]/home/padmin# chdev -dev hdisk15 -attr pv=yes * On the second VIOS as padmin (ex: vios2) [padmin@vios2]/home/padmin# cfgdev * Now map the new LUN on both VIOS [padmin@vios1]/home/padmin# mkvdev -dev hdisk15 -vadapter vhost5 -dev labotest_b1 [padmin@vios2]/home/padmin# mkvdev -dev hdisk15 -vadapter vhost5 -dev labotest_b1 * On the target LPAR: [root@labotest]/root # cfgmgr Now the new LUN is available, you can balance IO between the 2 VIOS.
