nothing changes in the PowerVC.
You should only restart the PowerVC server and then it should discovern the SEA again.

Did you have to delete/recreate the PowerVC network definition for the SEA or did nothing have to change within PowerVC itself?

Hello KG
in my experience you can rebuild the SEA without problems (if the same VLAN is defined again).
Nothing happened with the existing VM's in our environment.
We use the PowerVC "only" to the deployment of VM's. Not for automatic load balancing or so.
I would still the PowerVC durchstartet or an "Environment check" perform, after the change of the SEA.
Best regards,
Andre

PowerVC 2.1.0, running on a Power9.
Environment is created with one SEA network (each VIO has a quad-port network adapter with one port used).
Users want to test using SR-IOV also want to keep SEA. Looks to me that my steps to implement are:
- Remove SEA and remove network adapters from the VIOS
- Configure adapters in SR-IOV shared mode
- Assign one new virtual adapter to each VIOS, then recreate SEA with the same VLAN settings as before
Will I have to delete/recreate my existing SEA network definition in PowerVC or will it recognize that it's still there? If I have to delete the network definition, what else will have to delete downstream? Any deployed VMs?
(No production data in this environment. Strictly testing/tool development.)
