    Hi,

    I`ve a little question about VIO-configuration
    and SEA-Failover.

    Situation:
    I´ve two VIO´s in a p570, both VIO´s have 2
    different NICs in two different networks. My
    configuration

    VIO1 / VIO2:
    SEA1 with ctl_chan, configured a IP-address (network 1)
    SEA2 with another ctl_chan, no IP-address (network 2)

    In a normal situation it works fine...

    my question now:
    • do I need a second IP-address configured for a working
    failover configuration (network1 / 2 are different ip-networks;
    they should be independent). IBM mentioned this need, ´cause
    VIO attempt to ping a IP-address...
    • do I need two control-channels or do I need one channel for
    both SEAs only?

    Regards
    Guenther
