1. Select the preferred DIOs from the HPVM DIO table. These DIOs do not have an IP address
and are not associated with a Vswitch.
2. If you want to enter the Bus, Device, and MAC parameters for the selected DIOs, select
Specify virtual address parameters (advanced). If you do not want to enter the parameters,
leave the check box blank.
3. Click Add to List to add the selected DIOs to the VM. The Specify DIOs page appears,
where the selected DIOs are listed.
4. Click Next to move to the next screen of the wizard.
Table 14 describes the information which the device selection table displays.
Table 14 DIO selection table: column descriptions
DescriptionParameter name
The H/W Path indicates the functions of a device. For
example, a function H/W path 0/0/0/3/0/0/0
indicates function 0, which is the last number of the
H/W path. Therefore, 0/0/0/3/0/0/[0–N] are all
functions of the same device 0/0/0/3/0/0.
H/W Path
Indicates whether the operation of the DIO is at a
function level or device level. In Function Level
Assignment (FLA), each function is shared among several
VMs or vPars. In Device Level Assignment (DLA), an
entire device is assigned to the same guest OS. In the
DIO pool, all functions of DIOs with device-level
assignment are placed together. If a command is issued
to one function in the device, all other functions also
perform the same operation. For example,
0/0/0/4/0/0/0 and 0/0/0/4/0/0/1 are device-level
functions and belong to the device, 0/0/0/4/0/0.
They are placed in a single cell in the DIO pool. If you
select them from the host or HPVM table, the command
preview field displays only the first function,
0/0/0/4/0/0/0.
Assignment Level
Indicates the type of DIO driver. The driver used must
be compatible with DIO. For example, HPUX 11i v3
1112/1203 iexgbe guest driver with DIO support.
Driver Type
Displays a description of the DIO network adaptor. For
example, AM225-60001 HP Integrity PCIe 2-port
10GbE-SR Fabric Adapter.

6. Each virtual storage device is backed by physical storage in the VSP system. A physical storage
device can be a disk device, a logical volume, a DVD or CD, a DVD writer (burner), a tape
device, a tape changer, an existing file (a file or directory being used as the backing storage
device for a virtual storage device of an already-existing VM on the VSP), or a new file that
Integrity Virtual Server Manager allows you to create as a backing storage device for a virtual
disk (Virtual FileDisk). When you add a DVD writer, tape device, or changer, they are added
as attached devices.You can add attached devices only if they are using an emulated SCSI
adapter. You cannot use Integrity Virtual Server Manager to add an attached AVIO device;
to add such a device to a VM, use the hpvmdevmgmt command at the VSP. To add a virtual
storage device, click Add Storage Device... on the first storage device screen. This brings up
the Add Storage Device screen. First, select the type of virtual storage adapter. The default is
an emulated SCSI adapter. You can select Accelerated Virtual Input/Output (AVIO) adapter
type if AVIO is supported by the version of Integrity VM (Version 3.5 or later) on the VSP and
by the intended guest OS (HP-UX 11i v3 only).
