    I can not find 'mkvdev' command on my vios.
    My vios level is 4.1 (0627A_53H).

    Who can tell me which package I should install for this command?

    First of all in the VIOS you will need to login as padmin. Once you do that you are in a restricted shell and can only run the designated commands. The mkvdev command is one of the commands that you will be able to run at any level of VIOS. If you do not have this command, then you do not have the VIO code installed in that LPAR. If you can login as root, you do not have the VIO code installed. If you did log in as padmin, then likely you did not run the command to accept the license which you must run before you can run anything.

    license -accept.

    The next command you should run would be

    lsdev -virtual

    This will make sure that the virtual ethernet and virtual SCSI host (vhost) adapters that you created on the HMC are indeed present in your LPAR.
