Following section "Creating an IBM i logical partition that uses IBM i
virtual I/O resources" starting at pdf page 125 (printed page 117) of
"Power Systems Logical Partitioning" available at
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/powersys/v3r1m5/topic/iphat/iphat.pdf

On my HMC I created the new guest lpar.
Load source: Client SCSI Slot 2
Alternate restart device: Client SCSI Slot 3

The Guest lpar has the following:
adapt
Type id Server Partner Required
Client SCSI 2 gdihq(2) 5 Yes
Client SCSI 3 gdihq(2) 6 Yes
Server Serial 0 Any Partition Any Partition slot Yes
Server Serial 1 Any Partition Any Partition slot Yes


The Host lpar has (both dynamically and in profile config - verified)
adapt
Type id Server Partner Required
Ethernet 2 N/A N/A Yes
Ethernet 3 N/A N/A Yes
Server SCSI 4 Any Partition Any Partition Slot Yes (just was
there)
Server SCSI 5 MAIL1(4) 2 No
Server SCSI 6 MAIL1(5) 3 No
Server Serial 0 Any Partition Any Partition slot Yes
Server Serial 1 Any Partition Any Partition slot Yes

On gdihq I enter WRKHDWRSC *CMN and I see (subsetted)

Repeat for a total of six 140's to start.

Repeat for the six storage devices.
Verified that the settings for this lpar are D mode IPL.
Tried to start it using Activate Profile and it died with B2004158.
Shut it down immediately. Varied on NWSD's MAIL1 and MAIL1TO. Tried
again. Same error. Hmm, I wonder if loading a disc into the optical
drive will make a difference? :-)
Do I need to vary off tape/opt on GDIHQ first?
