Re: Does IBM i host LPAR need to be IPL'd for newly created NWSD to appear

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From WRKHDWRSC *CMN if you use option 7 against the CTLnn resource look 
at the digits after the C at the nd of the Location line. THAT is the 
slot number of the host adapter. Now look at the configuration of the 
host in the virtual adapters section at that slot number.

Most likely the one you used is for some other LPAR # and that's why it 
failed to vary on. The slot it references MUST be either for 'any' lpar 
or for the specific LPAR referenced (name/number) in your NWSD.

Once the adapters are added to the host either with DLPAR or an IPL 
using the new partition you'll get new CTLnns
