I am facing problems in moving CD-ROM from one lpar to another.
CDROM can be seen on the POWERVM (IVM) server , but through the web-access if I move it ( assign it ) to LPAR it will be assigned. I run cfgmgr , and the cdrom does not show up in the LPAR. I firmly believe this is the reason why I was unable to boot from CDROM in this thread http://www.unix.com/aix/210427-vios-...or-0518-a.html ;
Let us try to troubleshoot the problem.
Someone mentioned that I might need to shutdown the vios server with shutdown -F but since I don't have HMC , i will need to physically be next to the server to start it no other way. shutdown -Fr did not work with CD assignment. see here : http://www.unix.com/aix/123892-see-v...c-profile.html
I have read ROOTVG - AIX & POWER Portal
but it didn't work.
Happy new year
