I'd like to get back to one of my original questions.
This time can we concentrate on:
Do I save/restore VIOS? If I do, how does one do this? Honestly I've
'NEVER' saved my VIOS, let alone tried to figure out how to do a bare
metal restore.
Or do I reconfig from scratch? If I do it from scratch, is there some
sort of magic "dump the vios config to script" or some such
thing?

Think 3 different Power 8's being upgraded to Power 9's.
Somewhat similar configurations.
- Two lpars of VIOS on each redundantly serving up DVD, fiber tape,
Ethernet.
- Each VIOS lpar has their own CEC mirrored pair of disk drives.
- Hosting lpar of IBM i on each
- Four guest lpars of IBM i on each
- lpar of AIX on 2 of the 3.
We may move all disk back to the system ASP. Currently each rack has a
system ASP and one secondary ASP. No iASPs. No SAN (except VTL tape).
I'm wondering how you do the VIOS. I've already forgotten the Power 6 to
Power 8 migration. I don't think we used VIOS on Power 6. That's right,
we had separate ethernet and fc for each lpar.
Is there some sort of magic "dump the vios config to script" or some such
thing?
