  • 1.  Cannot create a VIOS LPAR

    Hi folks,

    On a new p5+ system we got at the used market, I can see it through HMC, it's powered on, but the "create logical partition" menu only contains the "AIX or Linux option", i.e. the VIOS options are missing.

    I must note that I have reset it using that super-small Service Processor reset switch in order to reset the ASMI password (it came used so I couldn't retrieve it) and yet I still cannot login using ASMI using admin/admin account, or any other account.

    Perhaps these two issues are related...?

     

    Thanks for any clues,

     

    George

    In this site:

    I entered the system data and got a  POD-type code and no VET code.

    Highlight the server and click properties go to the Capabilities tab.

     

    You likely only have PowerVM Express if you can't do VIO Server installs.

    I have converted a 10GB mksysb file to .iso image using mkcd command.

    It created 3 .iso files for a single mksysb file. Now I wonder how to restore this mksysb for creation of a new server using FBO device on VMLIBRARY on VIO master.
