Adding DIOs
You can add DIOs to a VM or vPar.
Figure 73 Add DIOs to VM or vPar page
To add DIOs:
1. Select a guest from the Virtual Servers tab.
2. Click Modify
→ Add DIO. The Add DIOs to (VM or vPar) page is displayed.
The Add DIO menu is enabled only after you select a guest. If more than one guest is selected,
the menu items are not enabled.
3. Select DIOs from the HPVM DIO table. To specify the PCI bus number, PCI device number,
and MAC address, select the Specify virtual address parameters (advanced) check box.
When you select the check box, fields to enter BUS, Device, and MAC address are displayed.
If you do not enter any value in the fields, the default values are applied.
NOTE: PCI bus number must be from 0 through 7.
PCI device number must be from 0 through 7.
MAC address format must be 0x000000000000. It must begin with 0x followed by 12
hexadecimal characters.
NOTE: PCI bus and PCI device number must exist together. If one number is entered without
the other, the following error message is displayed when you click Command Preview.
The DIO with backing DIO function x/x/x/x/x/x/x has a missing adapter
value (bus a, device (default)). Enter both of the adapter arguments
(bus, device) or remove both of them.
The Command Preview field also displays a note that there are errors in the input.
MAC address can exist separately without the PCI bus and device numbers.
4. Click OK to add the DIO to the guest.
Replacing DIO H/W path
You can replace the h/w path of a DIO owned by a VM or vPar.
