RE: Does IBM i host LPAR need to be IPL'd for newly created NWSD to appear -- MIDRANGE-L

So the host does need an IPL.
Is there no other option?

On the host, I ran few CL.
All ran fine with no errors.

CRTNWSD NWSD(P080) RSRCNAME(CTL27) TYPE(*GUEST +
*OPSYS) PTNNBR(1) RSTDDEVRSC(*ALL) +
PWRCTL(*NO) TEXT('PENCOR08 VSCSI 80')
Network server description P080 created.

CRTNWSSTG NWSSTG(P0880A) NWSSIZE(107290) +
FROMNWSSTG(*NONE) FORMAT(*OPEN) ASP(1) +
TEXT(P0880A) OFFSET(*FORMAT)
Network server storage space P0880A created.

ADDNWSSTGL NWSSTG(P0880A) NWSD(P080) DYNAMIC(*YES)
Network server storage space link added.

Yes you would need to IPL the hose partition with the new profile to create those *CMN resources.

Also how did you create the new NWSDs if there are no *CMN resources to assign them to??

I think I need to add them dynamically.

Simplest at this point is an IPL with the new partition.

However they can be added dynamically too.

I added to them to both server and client profiles.
I'm not seeing an option to dynamically ADD the vSCSI host adapters.

Oh THOSE, those are created when the vSCSI adapters are added to the host partition. Sorry misunderstood that you were just creating more NWSSTG.

So either you need to dynamically ADD the vSCSI Host adapters to the partition or add them to the profile and IPL with the udpated profile.

All my other NWSD for my other clients do appear, just not the newly created ones.

No.

Did you ADD the NWSSTG to the NWSD? If you WRKNWSD and option 12 it need to be in that list.

Also where are you looking? On the client correct? IF you are looking on the host they do not show up there.

I'm creating a new sandbox client LPAR for testing V7R4 upgrade.
On the IBM I host, I created all the NWSD, NWSSTG, etc for the new client.

They are not appearing in hardware resources.
Does the IBM I host need to be IPL'd for these to appear?

If not, why are they not appearing?
