3. Figure 5-2 shows you the window after clicking Create client adapter. Put in
the slot number for the client adapter in the upper left hand portion of the
window. Under the Connection settings box, choose the Virtual I/O Server
partition using the drop-down arrow key and input the corresponding Virtual
I/O Server slot number for the server adapter.
Note: Step 3 assumes you already have a virtual SCSI server adapter
available and you know the slot number on the server side. Then you can
go ahead and click the OK button to create the client adapter. If not,
proceed with step 4 and create the server SCSI adapter dynamically.
4. In the Virtual I/O Server dialog box (Figure 5-2), choose the Virtual I/O Server
where you want to create the adapter, highlight it, and click Create server
adapter.
Note: The Create server adapter button on the lower right hand side of
the window is a new feature on the HMC that allows you to dynamically
create the virtual SCSI adapter on the Virtual I/O Server server. Be aware
that when doing dynamic LPAR operations and clicking the Create server
adapter button, the operation will add the adapter dynamically on the
partition, but not update the partition profile. You need to make sure to edit
the partition profile if you want the change to be persistent after a reboot.
To ease this task, have a look at the instructions provided in Figure 3-40 on
page 162.
