Shared ethernet adapter vio server
I want to create a shared ethernet adapter bridge but the system is
giving an error:
I've got:
Ent0 -> T6
Ent1 -> T7
$ mkvdev -lnagg ent0 ent1 works ok
it gives me a ent3, en3 and et3
but mkvdev doesn't work.
$ mkvdev -sea ent3 -vadapter ent2 -default ent2 -defaultid 105
Method error (/usr/lib/methods/cfgsea):
0514-040 Error initializing a device into the kernel
What's wrong ?? All the documentation says this is the way to configure
it.
Thanks in advance,
Richard.

Re: Shared ethernet adapter vio server
You need to bring the devices into a DETACHed (or down... can't
remember offhand) state in the oem_setup_env shell, and then go back to
the padmin shell and run the command again. The devices cannot be
active when you are creating an SEA.
