Removing Promiscuous attribute from HEA: reboot required?

  • 1.  Removing Promiscuous attribute from HEA: reboot required?

    We have two lp-hea configured as an etherchannel SEA on a VIO server. We want to remove one lp-hea from the etherchannel and use it in an ordinary AIX lpar utilising group ports, so we will be removing the promiscuous attribute from it.

    We know that if the MCS is changed (currently 4) we need to restate the managed system (we won't change it), but are wondering if the VIO server needs to be rebooted to 'release' the promiscuous attribute after we DLPAR the lp-hea out?

    A colleague seems to think he read this requirement somewhere but so far I am unable to find any reference to it.

    Has anyone any experience removing the 'P' attribute?

    Unlike changing MCS, Enabling/Disabling Promiscuous mode on a HEA is something you could do dynamically.
