    this VIOS needs to be configured as the IVE physical port
    's promiscuous logical partition
    


    btw.
    lsdev -virtual on such IVM VIOS shows:

    
    $ lsdev -virtual name             status      description ent2             Available   Virtual I/O Ethernet Adapter (l-lan) ent3             Available   Virtual I/O Ethernet Adapter (l-lan) ent4             Available   Virtual I/O Ethernet Adapter (l-lan) ent5             Available   Virtual I/O Ethernet Adapter (l-lan) ibmvmc0          Available   Virtual Management Channel vhost0           Available   Virtual SCSI Server Adapter vhost1           Available   Virtual SCSI Server Adapter vsa0             Available   LPAR Virtual Serial Adapter vsa1             Available   LPAR Virtual Serial Adapter vts0 Available   Virtual TTY Server Adapter vts1             Available   Virtual TTY Server Adapter vtopt0           Available   Virtual Target Device - File-backed Optical vtopt1           Available   Virtual Target Device - File-backed Optical vtscsi0          Available   Virtual Target Device - Logical Volume vtscsi1          Available   Virtual Target Device - Logical Volume
    


    Where are the 4 virtual Ethernet adapters defined in IVM and how can I for example reduce IVE to 1 (keep only ent2)? This is small box and only PowerVM Express so only 3 LPARs (including VIOS) can be setup.

    I don't see a possiblity to remove from configuration IVE ent3,4,5...

    some command line??

    thx.
