Managing virtual I/O connectivity
Use the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI) to set the policy for virtual input/output connectivity.
Specifying this configuration
setting enables you to control
virtual I/O activity between partitions. The policy is set to enabled by
default, which allows all virtual I/O connectivity between partitions.
If this setting is disabled, only virtual terminal type (tty) sessions
to the Hardware Management Console (HMC)
are allowed.
Important: Before you change the policy setting,
turn off the system. Your authority level must be an authorized service
provider.
To set the policy for virtual I/O connections, complete the following steps:
- On the ASMI Welcome pane, specify your user ID and password, and click Log in.
- In the navigation area, expand System Configuration and click Virtual I/O Connections.
- Select either Enable or Disable to change the setting.
- Click Save Settings.
