Re: VIOS and Shared Ethernet Adapter

[Kirk Goins <kirkgoins@xxxxxxxxx>]

Forget IBMi on IBMi I meant to use it as  ref and I know NOT to put an IP
on the SEA just the guests.

Just to be clear on the setup plan
Dual Port GB NIC that VIOS owns
Port0 would have VIOS Address assigned
Port0 would also have a SEA  that supports 1 or more IBM i guests
Port1 Would have another SEA that supports say another IBM i guest.

So based on your experience this will work fine.

Thanks
