72 PowerVM Migration from Physical to Virtual Storage
The other important output from the chkdev command is the
PHYS2VIRT_CAPABLE field. In this example it has YES as a value. A value
of YES means that at this point in time, this disk volume can be mapped to a
virtual device and presented to a logical partition. A value of NO would mean
that the disk cannot be mapped. A value of NA means that the disk has
already been mapped as a virtual target device (VTD).
More information about the chkdev command can be found by reading its man
page.
10.Create a mapping from the Virtual I/O Server to the client logical partition for
the SAN disk that has been discovered. This can be done using the Virtual I/O
Server command-line tools or by using the Configuration  Virtual
Resource  Virtual Storage Management panels as shown in Figure 3-9.

11.Once you have made the mapping, you can verify the status by again using
the Virtual I/O Server chkdev command:
$ chkdev -dev hdisk6 -verbose
NAME: hdisk6
