 Expanding the number of shared NICs/virtual NICs

This function can assign up to 16 NICs including shared NICs and virtual NICs to an

Shared NIC function

(1) This function is available only with LPAR manager expansion mode. With LPAR

manager standard mode, LPAR manager system memory is increased by 256 MB,

which reduces the memory available for the user by 256 MB.

(2) Make sure to deactivate all LPARs before changing LPAR manager operating

modes: changing from LPAR manager standard mode to LPAR manager

expansion mode, or from LPAR manager expansion mode to LPAR manager

standard mode. When you select Yes to "Save LPAR manager configuration and

reboot LPAR manager system. Do You Continue? ", LPAR manager will be

automatically rebooted.

(3) When LPAR manager expansion mode is changed to LPAR manager standard

mode, assignment of virtual NICs 8 to 15 will be forcibly initialized, which cancels

all assignment.

(4) You can configure this setting with the LPAR manager screen, HvmSh command,

or HVM Navigator.

(5) Version downgrade by switching LPAR manager firmware banks is not supported.

(6) In LPAR migration, an LPAR cannot migrate to LPAR manager in the different

operating mode.
