It's been 8 years since we set our up I believe. Don't remember the
details, but maybe something in here triggers something. It seems like
we have the same setup as you.

This article looks to be the one we followed way back when.

So you are mixing the 'just connect two LPARs' bits with the 'Access
external networks' bits here. Your adapter on the HOST partition has
'Access external network' flag set on so it's in promiscuous mode. For
ONLY connecting two LPARs together on a virtual network we want that
to be 'False'.
Makes sense.

U8286.41A.21EF0DV-V1-C2-T1 - seems right strtcpifc '10.1.10.1'
ping '10.1.10.2' - no response from host.
Same issue if end/start interface on guest and ping back to host.
Also for communication between these two LPARS there need no routes
whatever as they are in the same IP network (10.1.10.0) so just for
clarity I would remove those.
Ended interfaces on both sides, removed routes, started interfaces on
both sides, ping gets no response.
