Steps for installing VIOS
• PowerVM Standard or Enterprise Edition must be ordered
• Cable at least one ethernet port per VIOS and obtain an IP address from your network team for each VIOS
– Must be on a network that can communicate with the HMC
• Create VIOS Partition(s)
– Assign physical adapters
• Choose install method
– HMC VIOS repository over the network
– HMC DVD over the network
– DVD media in system DVD drive
– NIM server infrastructure
• Activate partition for network install or boot to SMS (like DST on IBM i) if installing from physical media
• Complete post-install configuration tasks
– Configure network
– Adjust attributes on fiber and disk resources (dyntrk, fast_fail, reserve policy, etc). This can be done with rules command in VIOS 2.2.4.0 or later (rules –o deploy –d)

After install completes - Open Console and Login to VIOS
• TCP/IP and other subsystems will start• Will be prompted to login using padmin• Will be prompted to set password

Protecting the VIOS Load Source Disk
• Verify mirror operation was successful with lsvg command
• lsvg –lv rootvg
• If the number 2 is present in the PVs column, it was successful
– Use bootlist command to add the second disk to the bootlist
• bootlist –mode normal hdisk0 hdisk1
– Reboot VIOS
• shutdown -restart
• VIOS is typically installed on one disk and mirrored to another disk
• If RAID-10 was set up prior to install or protected on SAN, nothing more to do
• If installed on one disk, need to mirror to second disk
– Use chsp command to add second disk to storage pool
• chsp –add hdisk1
– Use mirrorios command
• mirrorios –f -defer hdisk1

VIOS post-install tasks: network configuration
• Network Configuration
– On VIOS console, use the lsdev command to identify the correct network device name
• lsdev | grep ent
– Example: ent0
– Use the corresponding numeric network interface (en0 in our example) in the mktcpipcommand to configure networking:
• mktcpip -hostname <VIOS hostname> -inetaddr <VIOS IP address> -interface <enX> –gateway <gateway IP address> –nsrvaddr <DNS server IP address> –nsrvdomain<domain name> –start
– Use lstcpip to check the network configuration or rmtcpip –f –all to start over
– Or use cfgassist menu
• Network Interface must be enabled in order for RMC connection to be active between HMC and VIOS LPAR

VIOS post-install tasks: attribute changes
• Starting with VIOS 2.2.4.0, the “rules” command will handle adjusting many of the VSCSI and NPIV attributes
• For virtual scsi
– Change reserve_policy attribute to no_reserve for each hdisk in both VIOs that will be used with IBM i partition
– Change queue_depth for each hdisk in both VIOs
– Change dyntrk and fc_err_recov attributes on all fscsi resources
• For NPIV
– Change dyntrk and fc_err_recov attributes on all fscsi resources
– Change num_cmd_elems on all fcs resources

Need to define storage
• For virtual scsi (vSCSI), will generally have storage volumes created and mapped to the VIOS host resource(s) in storage subsystem before creating IBM i partition
• For NPIV, will use virtual WWPN (vWWPN) to zone the SAN switch and configure host resource in storage subsystem. Will need to map storage volumes after creating but before activating the IBM i partition

IBM i LPAR Creation – Planning
• Put IBM i LPARs in their own shared processor pool
– Only pay for the IBM i licenses you need
• Create virtual client adapters (or add them after LPAR creation)
• Create virtual ethernet adapter(s)
• Set Tagged I/O to use a virtual adapter for the load source and alternate load source after virtual adapters have been created
