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

["Steinmetz, Paul" <PSteinmetz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Larry,

I finally got back to this and got them added.

chhwres -r virtualio -m Server-9009-42A-SN***** -o a -p Pencor05 Production -s  80 --rsubtype scsi -a adapter_type=server, remote_lpar_id=4 , remote_slot_num=80
chhwres -r virtualio -m Server-9009-42A-SN***** -o a -p Pencor05 Production -s  81 --rsubtype scsi -a adapter_type=server, remote_lpar_id=4 , remote_slot_num=81
chhwres -r virtualio -m Server-9009-42A-SN***** -o a -p Pencor05 Production -s  82 --rsubtype scsi -a adapter_type=server, remote_lpar_id=4 , remote_slot_num=82

The new resources now created.
CTL30, CTL31, CTL32.

Question.
Which method would you use to load base OS on a brand new partition?

1) Restore from a another LPAR backup.
2)Network install
chsysstate -o on -k manual -m Server-9009-42A-SN*****  -n Pencor08 DSLO -i d -f Pencor08 DSLO -r lpar --ip 10.5.*.* --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 10.5.*.* --serverip 10.5.*.* --serverdir /V7R3OSPTF --duplex auto --mtu 1500
3) Other??

Paul

chhwres
-r virtualio
-m <hmc name of your server>
-o a
-p <hame of host partition>
-s <slot number to add>
--rsubtype scsi
-a "adapter_type=server,
remote_lpar_id=<lpar number of guest partition>, remote_slot_num=<slot number in guest partion>"

Once you have replaced all the <something here> parts, put all of that back onto one line (e.g. notepad). Note that the HMC Is cAse SenSATive. 
Assure there is at least one space in front of each '-' character. Then paste it into an SSH command line on your HMC.

Instant adapter!!
