I'll stand corrected on the V part.--
I'll have to do more research on the C part. Not so sure it's a virtual representation. Although it might just be a coincidence that C2 has the shared Ethernet card served up by VIOS lpar 1. But in your favor, should it be showing that when you're using shared Ethernet between two different cards served up by two different vios lpars?

Likely a 'typo' but V6 is the partition number not the VLAN. VLAN isn't visible here. FOr Pete that will be V1.
C2 is indeed the card slot and here is a virtual slot but on Pete's machine it will be a real hardware slot number as printed on the back fo the server.
T1 is the TOP port, used for LAN console.
T2 is next down to T4 on the bottom.
For desk side servers picture the thing with the 'Top' port being furthest away from the Planar board as if the planar board were laying flat.

On the WRKHDWRSC *CMN you should be able to use option 7 on each of
those CMN## ports. The last two characters will help you to
determine which port they are on the card. For example
U9009.42A.<redacted>-V6-C2-T1
I think you get the first two parts.
The third part is the S/N of our system unit. This lets us know it's our system unit and not our expansion unit(s).
V6 indicates Virtualized. 6 is vlan 6.
C2 indicates card slot 2.
T1 indicates port 1 on that card.

Thanks Rob. Prying loose those infrequently used commands from the recesses of my brain takes work. I think this was what I was looking for:
CMB06 576F Operational Comm Processor
LIN04 576F Operational LAN Adapter
CMN03 576F Operational Ethernet Port
CMN04 576F Operational Ethernet Port
CMN05 576F Operational Ethernet Port
CMN06 576F Operational Ethernet Port
I am guessing those Ethernet Ports are the 4 ports on the card. So,
just need to assign CMN04 to the ETHLINE and should be good to go.
Thanks

Your setup may be different from mine as we virtualize Ethernet from VIOS, however I use the CMN04.
Option 5 on CMN04 reveals LANLINSYS
Line description . . . . . . . . . : LANLINSYS
Option . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *BASIC

Subject: Network (Ethernet) resources on Power 9 9009-41A
Getting this bright shiny new Power 9 up on it's legs (aside: Installing from USB is AWESOME!) Trying to remember how to identify which resource name to use for the Ethernet adapter. This guy has a card with 4 Ethernet ports on it and I am trying to figure out which external port maps to the internal resource names. Using LAN Console, not HMC.
I think I go into SST and use the HSM to identify the logical
resources. There is a virtual IOP (CMB04). That has a Workstation
IOA
(CTL01) which has a display station attached (DSP001) which I assume is the Console. There is also a Virtual Comm IOA on that virtual IOP which has a resource name of LIN03.
So, do I use LIN03 as the resource for the Ethernet Line I want to create or do I need to "create" a resource for the Ethernet line somehow? I think the 4 external Ethernet ports might be derailing my thinking....
Just trying to create an Ethernet line to connect this P9 to the network (beyond the LAN console)....
