RE: Loading Image Catalog

I think in your list of items you did not stop/start the NFS server. I know
folks will tell me you don't have to but that seems to be the key to getting
it running the first time.

Larry is right, the host server has a normal IP connection on that VLAN
(make sure those line up too) and the target has the service tools device on
it, then it works. The host should be able to ping the target box's service
tools IP address.

If you use all Vlans on the backplane of the system you'll eliminate quite a
bit trouble.

And WRKOPTVOL does not update as we would ordinarily think is should so be
careful with that.

I get that the host lpar will be up and I should count on that.

However, I thought that by using the virtual ethernet kind of stuff then it
would be a totally private network and I could have even the lpars who are
in our DMZ in on this. They're not all currently in the same subnet.

If our host, RACK2HST, is currently 10.10.6.181, and our guest, GDISYS2,
everyday IP address is 10.10.6.129 then I should abandon a separate vlan and
the whole 10.10.206.x range and use a number like 10.10.6.130 (if
available) on GDISYS2? And end up changing
Internet address . . . . . . 10.10.206.129
Gateway router address . . . 10.10.206.1
Subnet mask . . . . . . . . . 255.255.255.0 to
Internet address . . . . . . 10.10.6.130
Gateway router address . . . 10.10.6.1
Subnet mask . . . . . . . . . 255.255.254.0
*Note: we use subnet 255.255.254.0 for our regular lan traffic.

What happens when we want to do our dmz lpar? It's everyday IP address is
something like 208.xx.yy.zz, and runs in a different vlan. Do I give a
service tools IP address in the 10.10.6 range and vlan?

HOst system does NOT need this adapter and will ignore it. On the Host
machine it uses the normal IBM i IP Interface for this. This is because
it is up and running and using the NFS Server there.

The GUEST partition yes. So the IP address assigned to the GUEST Service
Tools interface should be in the same subnet as the HOST IP address.
Then in the CRTDEVOPT the RMTINTNETA parm points to the HOST IP address
in IBM i.
