2. Complete the fields in Figure 7-14 on page 300 as follows:
– Specify 13 as the Adapter ID.
– To create a virtual SCSI relationship between this VIOS and a client virtual
server, specify SCSI as the Adapter type. Either choose an existing
virtual server and supply an ID in the Connecting adapter ID field, or
enter a new ID and connecting adapter ID for a virtual server that is not
defined.
Figure 7-14 on page 300 shows the window for creating a virtual SCSI
adapter between this VIOS and a client virtual server with an ID of 10 and
a connection adapter ID of 13.
3. Click OK to save the settings for this virtual storage adapter, and return to the
main virtual storage adapter window.
4. When all virtual storage adapters are defined, click Next in that window to
save the settings and proceed to the physical adapters window (Figure 7-17
on page 303).
Assigning physical I/O
Any virtual server can be assigned physical I/O adapters from one of
three sources:
򐂰 Expansion cards
– p260 and p24L: Maximum of two
– p460: Maximum of four
򐂰 Storage controllers
– p260 and p24L: Maximum of one
– p460: Maximum of one
򐂰 USB
Identifying the I/O resource in the FSM configuration menus is necessary to
assigning the correct physical resources to the intended virtual servers.
Note: The number of virtual adapters allowed on the virtual server can be
set in this window. Set it to one more than the highest ID number that you
plan to assign. If you do not set it correctly, it automatically increases, if
necessary, when assigning ID numbers to virtual adapters that exceed the
current setting. This value cannot be changed dynamically after a virtual
server is activated.
