<h1 class="topictitle1">Assign I/O adapters (IOAs) to a logical partition</h1>
<div><p>Learn how to assign your I/O adapters to logical partitions.</p>
<div class="p">Before changing your hardware configuration, use the LPAR Validation
Tool (LVT). This tool allows you to test the placement of i5/OS<sup>®</sup> and logical
partition hardware within the server to ensure that the placement is valid.
The output generated from the LVT will validate the placement of hardware
and ensure that your logical partition is configured properly. Refer to <a href="http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/lpar/sysdesign.htm" target="_blank">Logical Partition</a> <img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside Information Center" /> for information on the LPAR Validation Tool (LVT).<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Incorrect
placement of adapters for logical partitions could result in unpredictable
behavior in the logical partition.</div>
<p>If you want to use real hardware
devices like communication lines, disk units, internal tape and CD devices
in a logical partition, you must assign the controlling IOAs explicitly to
the logical partition. These instructions do not apply to virtual devices
like virtual Ethernet, virtual disk, virtual CD, or virtual tape provided
by a hosting i5/OS partition.</p>
<p>The
logic to identifying IOAs is contained in the IOPs to which they are attached.
For logical partitions, IOAs are not connected to IOPs so their identity may
not be determined. In fact, card positions used by logical partitions will
have one of these descriptions:</p>
<ul class="simple"><li><strong>Empty position</strong>: IOA not yet installed.</li>
<li><strong>Occupied position</strong>: IOA installed, but not yet assigned to a logical
partition or not supported by the logical partition to which it is assigned.</li>
<li><strong>Communication IOA</strong>: resource is a communication adapter and supported
by the logical partition to which it is assigned.</li>
<li><strong>Multiple Function IOA</strong>: resource is a multiple function adapter
and supported by the logical partition to which it is assigned.</li>
<li><strong>Disk Controller</strong>: resource is a disk controller and supported by
the logical partition to which it is assigned.</li>
<li><strong>Generic adapter</strong>: IOA installed and may be supported by the logical
partition to which it is assigned.</li>
<li><strong>Storage IOA</strong>: resource is a storage adapter and supported by the
logical partition to which it is assigned.</li>
</ul>
<p>Due to this non-specific identification, it is very important to note
the logical and physical address of the card positions to be used by a logical
partition.A logical partition must have access to the bus on which its IOAs
reside. The only restriction is that if the bus is shared with an i5/OS partition,
the i5/OS partition
must own it, shared (own shared) and the logical partition must use it shared
(use shared).</p>
