Virtual I/O Server Information

This window displays a table that lists the virtual server SCSI adapters that belong to running Virtual I/O Server logical partitions. Use the Select column of this table to select the virtual server SCSI adapter that you want to connect with a virtual client SCSI adapter.

This table contains the following information:

Server

This column displays the partition name and partition ID (in parentheses) of the running Virtual I/O Server logical partition that owns each virtual server SCSI adapter.

Server Adapter

This column displays the virtual slot ID of each virtual server SCSI adapter.

Status

This column displays the status of each virtual server SCSI adapter. If this column contains Active, then the virtual server SCSI adapter is already connected to a virtual client SCSI adapter.

Virtual Adapter

This column displays the location code of each virtual server SCSI adapter.

Backing Device

This column displays the name of the storage device whose storage capacity can be used through a virtual SCSI connection to this virtual server SCSI adapter. This storage device is located on the same logical partition as the virtual server SCSI adapter.

Client Partition

This column displays the partition name and partition ID (in parentheses) of the logical partition to which each virtual server SCSI adapter is set to connect. If this column is blank, then the virtual server SCSI adapter is set to connect to any logical partition.

Client Adapter

This column displays the virtual slot ID of the virtual client SCSI adapter to which each virtual server SCSI adapter is set to connect. If this column contains none, then the virtual server SCSI adapter is set to connect to any virtual client SCSI adapter.

Client Disks

This column displays the name of the virtual disks (or logical volumes) that display on the logical partition with the virtual client SCSI adapter when a virtual SCSI connection exists. The logical partition with the virtual client SCSI adapter can use these virtual disks to store information on the storage device owned by the logical partition with the virtual server SCSI adapter. This column contains a value only if the virtual server SCSI adapter is already connected to a virtual client SCSI adapter.
