Re: FTPing to an LPAR

James,

You can use VLAN, or virtual lan, to talk between lpars.  Then you are 
talking at bus speeds and it kicks butt.

I think you can also configure one lpar to relay through another.  This in 
case you just don't want to spring for another lan card.  However, I've 
not done this.

Traditionally, here, we use a separate lan card for each lpar.  We've not 
even gone through the trouble of setting up vlan.  We might do that 
shortly, when our development partition moves off of our 520 and on to our 
570 so that the 520 can go offsite and play Mimix.  We'd still use a 
separate ethernet card for client to i5 communication and just reserve the 
vlan for lpar-to-lpar communication.  Sure would speed up those 
save/restore of live data to the test lpar.
