Assigning I/O at the LBA Level
For our example server, the ioscan output shows the LBAs as:
#ioscan -k | grep "Bus Adapter"
H/W Path Class Description
===========================================================
0/0 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
0/1 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
0/2 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
0/4 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
0/5 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
0/8 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
0/10 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
0/12 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
1/0 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
1/2 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
1/4 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
1/8 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
1/10 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
1/12 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
Looking at the full ioscan output to verify that we have the desired I/O
for each virtual partition, we will assign the I/O at the LBA level. (When
assigning hardware at the LBA level to a partition, all hardware at and
below the specified LBA is assigned to the partition.):
Ensuring the Hardware Console Port Is Owned by the First
Virtual Partition
In our example server, the hardware console port is at 0/0/4/0, which
uses the LBA at 0/0. The LBA 0/0 is owned by the partition winona1:
