VIOS dynamically add a VLAN
This function is available using Web interface https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-add-or-modify-additional-vlans-using-enhanced-ui
Or here describe the hmc command line
Precheck before adding
Check RMC connection –> it's required ! If inactive follow the procedure from wiki
hscroot@hmc01:~> for srv in $(lssyscfg -r sys -F name); do lssyscfg -r lpar -m $srv -F name,rmc_state ; done | grep vios ... vios01,active vios02,active
Check the profiles synchronization for all LPARs
hscroot@hmc01:~> for srv in $(lssyscfg -r sys -F name); do lssyscfg -r lpar -m $srv -F name,sync_curr_profile ; done lnxa087,2 aixa003,1 ... vios01,1 vios02,1
If value not equal to 1 –> synchronize the profile, go on HMC web, on the partition property select advanced and in the section “Save configuration changes to profile”, change to “Enabled” and save. Recheck using command line
Adding a VLAN
Add a new VLAN vlanid: 112, on the server power9-002
ATTENTION !!! check which slot is used by SEA, here slot 33 on vios01, and slot 2 on vios02
Only on VLAN per line
