servers</h1>
|
|
<div><p>Creating an Ethernet line description is the first
|
|
step in configuration for the server to use virtual Ethernet. You can use
|
|
the following steps to configure the 270 and 8<em>xx</em> model servers.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"> <p>To configure new Ethernet line descriptions to support virtual
|
|
Ethernet, follow these steps:</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>On the command line on partition A, type <kbd class="userinput">WRKHDWRSC *CMN</kbd>,
|
|
and then press Enter.</span></li>
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>From the Work with Communication Resources panel, select option
|
|
7 (Display resource detail) next to the appropriate virtual Ethernet port.</span> <p>The Ethernet port identified as 268C is the virtual Ethernet resource.
|
|
There is one for each virtual Ethernet that is connected to the logical partition.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>From the Display Resource Detail panel, scroll down to find the
|
|
port address. The port address corresponds to the virtual Ethernet you selected
|
|
during the configuration of the logical partition.</span></li>
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>From the Work with Communication Resources panel, select option
|
|
5 (Work with configuration descriptions) next to the appropriate virtual Ethernet
|
|
port, and then press Enter.</span></li>
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>From the Work with Configuration Descriptions panel, select option
|
|
1 (Create), and then press Enter to see the Create Line Description Ethernet
|
|
(CRTLINETH) panel.</span><ol type="a"><li class="substepexpand"><span>At the <em>Line description</em> prompt, type <kbd class="userinput">VETH0</kbd>.
|
|
The name VETH0, although arbitrary, corresponds to the numbered column on
|
|
the Virtual Ethernet page in which you <a href="rzai2arpenableveth.htm#arpenableveth">enabled</a> the
|
|
logical partitions to communicate. If you use the same names for the line
|
|
descriptions and their associated virtual Ethernet, you can easily keep track
|
|
of your virtual Ethernet configurations.</span></li>
|
|
<li class="substepexpand"><span>At the <em>Line speed</em> prompt, type <kbd class="userinput">1G</kbd>.</span></li>
|
|
<li class="substepexpand"><span>At the <em>Duplex</em> prompt, type <kbd class="userinput">*FULL</kbd>,
|
|
and then press Enter.</span></li>
|
|
<li class="substepexpand"><span>At the <em>Maximum frame size</em> prompt, type <kbd class="userinput">8996</kbd>,
|
|
and then press Enter. By changing the frame size to 8996, the transfer of
|
|
data across the virtual Ethernet is improved. </span> <p>You will see
|
|
a message stating the line description has been created.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Vary on the line description. Type <kbd class="userinput">WRKCFGSTS *LIN</kbd>,
|
|
and then select option 1 (Vary on) for VETH0.</span></li>
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Repeat steps 1 through 6, but perform the steps from the command
|
|
line on partition B to create an Ethernet line description for partition B.</span> <p>Although the names of the line descriptions are arbitrary, it is
|
|
helpful to use the same names for all of the line descriptions associated
|
|
with the virtual Ethernet. In this scenario, all the line descriptions are
|
|
named VETH0.</p>
