Hi
I have a System P flex node on which I am deploying an iSeries LPAR. I have 2 VIOS servers deployed and I am using the dual ASIC card in the flex node so each VIOS has 2 ports. The end users access the iSeries via 5250 sessions, this means that the "traditional" of managing a failure on the ethernet hardware via SEA failover will not work as it times out the 5250 session.
I did setup a SEA on each VIOS server with the same PVID and VLAN numbers but this has had strange results where turining off one network port takes all devices off the air, and its random as to which port enables access.
I suspect the config on the virtual switch but I an not sure and would appreciate any help. Is there a better way to set this up, i hav attached a picture to try explain that I am doing
Thanks
Brendan
