  • 1.  Convert IVM to VIOS on Power8 using HMC

    Posted 27 days ago

    Hi Team,

    I have question. Is there a document that allows me to convert step-by-step the existing IVM into VIOS using HMC?

    Environment:

    Power8

    vHMC V10R3

    IVM 2.2.6

    2 LPAR AIX 7.2 (VIOS CLIENT) with rootvg on LV vSCSI into IVM

    Best Regards

    Massimo

    Hi Massimo,

    Here is the official documentation to convert IVM managed Power8 to HMC managed Power8 :

    Connecting an HMC to a system managed by the Integrated Virtualization Manager

    I've done this operation long time ago on Power7, but I don't remember if I had to restore something after connecting the server to the HMC.

    The thing you need to know is that the VIOS will disable IVM at startup if the Power is HMC managed.

    Regards.
