Pc Dvd-rom

[Harcourt Ordonez]

Hinot sure, by i think it is possible to do this.

But not with a move operation : you have to create the virtual Optical Device (mkvdev -vdev cd0 -vadapter vhostX) and run a cfgmgr command. I think, this is possible for a vios-lpar, and for a physical lpar (with adding and vhost link between aix and the vios).

We will do a test next week, because we have the same problem, and have to resolve it without to buy any additionnal hardware.

Unfortunatelly, because the sas controller has a dvd-rom and six local disks under, it is not possible to move sata dvd-rom to another lpar. It would also mean to move local disks.

Thanks all for your comments

Actually, you need to remove the slot and everything that is attached.

lsslot -c slot is the command

to determine the respective slot numbers. Then its rmdev -dl pci# -R pci#

is the pci slot number.

For dvd look for the sata device or ide in p5. Then you can do a dlpar move

assuming the partition

has connectivity to the HMC on both private ad public ips.

Mine looks like:

Hi,

First you have to know the parent PCI slot.

run bellow command untill you get the parent pci slot then you can now delete the slot and finnally move the slot through the HMC

#lsdev -cl cd0 -F parent

The output will be the sasxx

#lsdev -cl sasXX -F parent

move down till you get the PCIxx

Then now delete the PCI card defination and configuration from the LPAR by

#rmdev -dl pciXX -R
