Virtual OptiConnect emulates external OptiConnect hardware by providing
a virtual bus between logical partitions.
You can use virtual OptiConnect without any additional hardware
requirements. To use virtual OptiConnect, you only need to purchase OptiConnect
for i5/OS™ (a priced optional
feature).
To enable virtual OptiConnect, follow these steps:
- In iSeries™ Navigator,
expand My Connections or your active environment.
- Select the primary partition of the system.
- Expand Configuration and Service and select Logical
Partitions.
- Right-click the logical partition and select Properties.
- Select the Options page.
- Select the Virtual (internal) OptiConnect Click Help if
you need more information on this field.
- Click OK.
