Cloning rootvg to external disk_AIX_ : Mapping to VIO_Client: Part II

Now inform the storage team to map the concerned LUN to the VIO_Server by providing the WWN of the HBA attached to the VIO_Server. Once it is done.

Login into the VIO_Server as "padmin".

$ cfgmgr : Configuration Manager.

$ lspv : List the Physical volumes in the VIO_Server.

$ chkdev -dev hdisk# -verbose : Command to get the PVID, IEEE ID, Unique ID of the disk and VIO_Attributes.

Now check the "unique_id" of the disk which we made a note earlier and compare it with the "unique id" displayed in the above command. If the "unique id" matches then the proper "LUN" is mapped else need to check with the storage team to map the correct LUN.

Next step would be create a Virtual_SCSI_Server_Adapter on VIO_Server and Virtual_SCSI_Clinet Adpater on the VIO_Client.

This has been explained in my previous posts.

Login into HMC--> System Management-->Server-->Select the VIO_Server-->Configuration--> Manage Profile-->Actions-->Create-->Virtual SCSI Adpater.

Make a note of Adapter ID and ensure VIO_Server_Adapter in mapped to the correct VIO_Client.

Follow the same process at the VIO_Client end as well.
