|
||
|
|
<p>If you want an integrated server to communicate with other logical partitions,
|
||
|
|
or with integrated servers controlled by other i5/OS partitions, you need
|
||
|
|
to configure one or more inter-partition networks. Inter-partition networks
|
||
|
|
are configured differently on iSeries™ systems with the Hardware Management
|
||
|
|
Console (HMC) than on other systems. In an iSeries HMC system, inter-partition connections
|
||
|
|
exist between partitions or integrated servers using the same VLAN ID. Participating
|
||
|
|
integrated servers do not support VLAN IDs directly. Instead, each participating
|
||
|
|
integrated server needs an Ethernet line description that associates a virtual
|
||
|
|
Ethernet port value with a virtual adapter having a VLAN ID. The configuration
|
||
|
|
procedure consists of the following steps: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to create a virtual
|
||
|
|
Ethernet adapter for each partition and each integrated server that will participate
|
||
|
|
in the inter-partition network. See <a href="../rzait/rzaithmcoption.htm">Partitioning
|
||
|
|
with an eServer i5</a> and <a href="../icbase/iphbl/iphblconfigvirteth.htm">Configure Inter-partition
|
||
|
|
virtual Ethernet networks</a> for more information. For each virtual adapter
|
||
|
|
that will connect an integrated server or i5/OS partition to the inter-partition
|
||
|
|
network, specify a consistent Port virtual LAN ID and uncheck <span class="bold">IEEE 802.1Q compatible adapter</span>.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Configure a virtual Ethernet port and line description as described
|
||
|
|
in step <a href="rzahqcreatevirtethlinedescrip.htm#rzahqconfigvirtethwostep1">1</a> of the <a href="rzahqcreatevirtethlinedescrip.htm#rzahqcreatevirtethlinedescrip">Configure virtual Ethernet networks</a> article
|
||
|
|
if one has not already been created for the port of interest (0 through 9).
|
||
|
|
Select an associated port name (Cmnxx) for the appropriate 268C resource.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Continue with step 2 of the <a href="rzahqcreatevirtethlinedescrip.htm#rzahqcreatevirtethlinedescrip">Configure virtual Ethernet networks</a> article
|
||
|
|
(in all i5/OS partitions that control a participating integrated server),
|
||
|
|
and step 3 of <a href="rzahqcreatevirtethlinedescrip.htm#rzahqcreatevirtethlinedescrip">Configure virtual Ethernet networks</a>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>For a partition to fully participate, you will need to appropriately configure
|
||
|
|
the protocol(s) within the partition. In each i5/OS partition, create an Ethernet
|
||
|
|
line description on the appropriate dedicated 268C port resource. Configure
|
||
|
|
an appropriate unique IP address in each partition that will participate in
|
||
|
|
TCP/IP communications.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Test to see if the inter-partition network is functioning, for example
|
||
|
|
by pinging between connected integrated servers and partitions.</li></ol><span class="bold">Inter-partition networks without the Hardware Management
|
||
|

Console</span>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />In a system other than an iSeries HMC system, inter-partition connections
|
||
|
|
exist between partitions using the same network number, and integrated servers
|
||
|
|
are connected only if their controlling i5/OS partitions are connected. Network
|
||
|
|
numbers 0-9 are pertinent to integrated servers. For example, if an i5/OS
|
||
|
|
partition is configured for inter-partition communication on networks 1 and
|
||
|
|
5, then integrated servers controlled by that partition can participate in
|
||
|
|
inter-partition communication on virtual Ethernet ports 1 and 5. The configuration
|
||
|
|
procedure consists of the following steps: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li>Configure the network number that you want each partition to connect to.
|
||
|
|
Refer to <a href="../rzait/rzaitconceptoverview.htm">Logical Partition concepts</a> and iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
online help information. Keep in mind that integrated servers are connected
|
||
|
|
only if their controlling i5/OS partitions are connected.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Configure a virtual Ethernet port and line description as described
|
||
|
|
if one has not already been created for the port you want to use (0 through
|
||
|
|
9). See Step 1 of <a href="rzahqcreatevirtethlinedescrip.htm#rzahqcreatevirtethlinedescrip">Configure virtual Ethernet networks</a>. Leave the
|
||
|
|
associated port name set to <span class="bold">None</span>.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Continue with step 2 in <a href="rzahqcreatevirtethlinedescrip.htm#rzahqcreatevirtethlinedescrip">Configure virtual Ethernet networks</a> (in
|
||
|
|
all i5/OS partitions that control a participating integrated server), and

|
|
step 3 in <a href="rzahqcreatevirtethlinedescrip.htm#rzahqcreatevirtethlinedescrip">Configure virtual Ethernet networks</a>.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If you want a partition to fully participate, you will need to appropriately
|
||
|
|
configure the protocol(s) within the partition. In each i5/OS partition that
|
||
|
|
you want to participate, use the WRKHDWRSC *CMN command to find the name of
|
||
|
|
the appropriate port of hardware type 268C, which was automatically created.
|
||
|
|
See Step 1 in <a href="rzahqcreatevirtethlinedescrip.htm#rzahqcreatevirtethlinedescrip">Configure virtual Ethernet networks</a>. Then create an
|
||
|
|
Ethernet line description on the 268C port resource. Configure an appropriate
|
||
|
|
unique IP address in each partition that will participate in TCP/IP communications.</li>
