Newbie in p570
permalink
Dear pSeries Gurus!


I am so glad I've found this forum! Would be possible to help me with the initial setup of p570 frame? I need to setup 2 VIOS, few LPARs, one NIM server, etc....
I am with AIX for years, but never setup VIO myself and I am totally new to p570 (worked on p650 and p550). Can somebody please send me a link to some "How To" steps for VIO and LPAR setup? Red Book, personal experience, screen shots, etc, etc... any info will be great


Have a great day and any help will be appreciated a lot!


Many thanks in advance!


Jan

There are plenty of links around here, I would advise taking the IBM training course to understand the material involved.

IBM Redbooks | IBM System i and System p System Planning and Deployment: Simplifying Logical Partitioning

IBM Redbooks | Partitioning Implementations for IBM eServer p5 Servers

Thanks Ross!!! The problem is that I have a training in June, but we need the system ASAP... and IBM want to charge us 50k for the setup (I was told)


I am trying to use IBM System Planning Tool, but still lots of unknown for a first time user. For example, I assigned DVD, Disks, LAN to first VIO, but how can I make it redundant with second VIO?

The bad thing is, in SPT there are some templates, but none of them is for my system which is "p6 9117-MMA"

C'mon guys, help the poor newbie here!

Have a great weekend everybody!

Hi

Hehe. Well. Assuming you know how to create an LPAR at HMC level.

First you need to identify and draw your p570 components on paper. You need to understand how p570 slots for i/o adapters are numbered as well as the internal disks 3-packs in the front panel. If your p570 comes with a D20 I/O expansion you need to draw it as well.

Still on paper you need to create your 2 VIOS LPARS by taking the best practices in high avalability and performance:

1- Decide to install VIOS SW on internal or SAN based disk. If internal remember to create a mirror disks once installed. If SAN based remember to use at least two HBA per VIOS.
2- VIOS can be used to virtualizate Network adapters, if this is your goal, assign at least two ethernet adapters to each VIOS (i always use the internal NIC and one PCI) in order to use Etherchannel to get aggregated bandwith and failover.
3- Assign enough RAM. At least 1GB.
4- Assign enough CPU. I always use 1 shared CPU as desired value.
5- Remember to assing the DVD as desired resource.

Once you have your drawing on paper start creating your LPARs with help of the HMC. Name your LPARs and start first LPAR install using the VIOS DVD you already should have.

Remember this is first time so failures could happen.

Following document will help:

IBM VIO Server - GoFacts

And keep asking.

Hope this helps

With p6 hardware you may use the HEA instead of physical ethernet adapters, in fact you probably have very few physical ethernet adapters because of the HAE. You must decide how to configure the HEA before you start configuring it and this will depend on how many LPARs / networks you need in the system.

Whatch the system planning tool as importing plans to HMCs has some problems that remain unresolved currently.

2nd VIOs are esentially copies of the primary - you need Ethernet via both Virtual I/O servers. Yes HEA can help - but there are also some restrictions on those that may push you in a different direction.

I sympathise with need for servers coming before the course, but there is a reason for needing the course - and do you ant to support something that was inexpertly setup?

Above all else watch how you use the virtual slots, come up with a systematic approach here that will make your life much simpler.

OK, I have 2 VIOS running, I carved one disk on VIOS1 for 5 LPARS, then I mapped those lv to vhost, but now when I am trying to start 1st lpar to do AIX install, I don't see CDROM or hard disk... can any nice soul check the steps I did and bring some light into this for me?
I am trying to install o01la05 first...

any idea will be appreciated greatly!!!

Have a Friday everybody!
