Oh, OK. HMC is not going to be much help in that case.
You'll get to be friends with VIOS command line and "lsdev" Here's some of
my cheat sheet, some of which Larry Bolhuis authored.
*** Configure Devices. Must be done whenever DLPAR is done for VIOS.
cfgdev
***List Physical Volumes
lspv
***List Logical volumes on a pv
lspv -lv hdisk0
***List Volume Groups
lsvg
***List Logical volumes in a Volume Group
lsvg -lv iStorage1
***List all disks
lsdev -type disk -field name phydfsloc
***Make a new File Backed Logical Volume
mkbdsp -bd IBMi02LS -sp iStorage1 36000M
mkvdev -dev vtscsi31 -vadapter vhost5 -vdev IBMi02LS
***Remove a logical volume
c
rmlv IBMi01_04
rmlv -f IBMi02_03
rmlv -f IBMi02_04
rmlv -f IBMi02_05
rmlv -f IBMi02_06
rmlv -f IBMi02_07
***List all disks mapped to their virtual host adapters:
lsmap -all
***List disks mapped to a single virtual host adapters:
lsmap -vadapter vhost1
***Make a virtual disk named vtscsi4 mapped to adapter vhost1 file backed by
IBMi01_05
mkvdev -dev vtscsi4 -vadapter vhost1 -vdev IBMi01_05
Lastly. The VIOS command line will drive you to schizophrenic insanity .
Recently someone posted this to fix it, and it does the job nicely:
export HOST="$(/usr/bin/uname -n)"
if [ "`whoami`" = "root" ]; then
PS1="`whoami`@$HOST:\$PWD # "
else
PS1="`whoami`@$HOST:\$PWD $ "
fi
set -o emacs;alias -x __A="$(echo '\020')"; alias -x __B="$(echo '\016')";
alias -x __C="$(echo '\006')"; alias -x __D="$(echo '\002')"; alias -x
__H="$(echo '\001')"; alias -x __Y="$(echo '\005')"
Put this in the .kshrc file and it will fix 90% of the insanity with VIOS
command line .

Nope Jim, sorry I should have clarified, I'm just adding more virtual SCSI
disks (this non-IBM storage doesn't support NPIV to IBM i).
Didn't the older, (pre GUI+) hmc have a 'query' button that seemed like it
caused a cfgev to be issued?

Cfgdev is your friend.....
Yes, when hardware is added you generally have to cfgdev. That said, if
the zoning is done right only LUNS assigned to your partition, they should
just show up in IBM i . (just did it this morning in preparation for my
POWERUp18 session on Storwize)
I suspect you are adding a virtual fibre connection for a new partition? If
so, you have to use the GUI to map the storage device after cfgdev is used
to create it in VIOS. (Remember to do both VIOS instances assuming dual
VIOS)
