This post shows an easy wat to perform mapping of disk between the Virutal Server and Virtal Client though Hardware Management Console. Rather than CLI using "mkvdev".
Disadvantage of thie method. Only directy mapping of the disk could be made rather than mapping a logical volume or a filesystem are not supported in this method. In those case we need to go back "mkvdev" mode for the mapping.
So we assume that a disk has been mapped the VIO_Server from the SAN Side.
Login into HMC-->System Management-->Server(Managed System to which the VIO_Server and VIO_Client Belongs to)-->Configuration-->Virtual Resources-->Virtual Storage Management.
This opens a windows like below.
In the window, on the left hand top corner you would find a drop down called "VIOS". Select the appropriate VIO_Server. This would list all the physical volumes available on the VIO_Server. To begin with the mapping. Select the disk that you would like to assign and click on "Modify Assignment" on the left hand bottom corner.
This the next window that will open upon selecting "Modify Assignment". Select the appropritate "Virtual SCSI Server Adapter" (vhost#) and click "OK".
Now the mapping is done.
