|
To view if the license has been accepted :
|
# license
|
To list all the installed software and their history
|
# license –hist
|
Management of Virtual Terminals:
|
|
To open a virtual terminal for partition with id 2 :
|
# mkvt –id
|
To close a virtual terminal for a partition with id 2 :
|
# rmvt –id 2
|
To configures the devices in the VIO server :
|
# cfgdev
|
To configures the devices attached to scsi0 adapter :
|
# cfgdev –dev scsi0
|
To unconfigure the cd-rom device :
|
# rmdev –dev cd0
|
List Device Mapping:
|
|
To list all vtd and backing devices mapped to vhost2 :
|
# lsmap -vadapter vhost2
|
To list SEA and physical device mapped to ent4 :
|
# lsmap -vadapter ent4 –net
|
To list all vtd and back devices where backing devices are of
type LV :
|
# lsmap -all -type lv
|
To list all network mapping :
|
# lsmap –all –net
|
List Devices :
|
|
To display all the devices :
|
# lsdev
|
To display all the virtual devices :

|
# lsdev –dev hdisk0 -field parent
|
To list disks names and physical location alone :
|
# lsdev -type disk -field name physloc
|
Management of Virtual/Shared Devices:
|
|
To create mapping with lv20 and vhost0
|
# mkvdev -vdev lv20 -vadapter vhost0
|
To create mapping with hdisk6 and vhost2
|
# mkvdev -vdev hdisk6 -vadapter vhost2
|
To create a SEA that maps phy Ethernet ent4 as a vir.adap to
clien
|
|
Virtual Ethernet adapters ent6 & ent7, using ent6
|
# mkvdev -sea ent4 -vadapter ent6,ent7 -default ent6
-defaultid 8
|
To remove a specific virtual target device :
|
# rmvdev –vtd vtscsi10
|
