Virtualised AIX networking

[Patrick Colbeck]

Hi

Does anyone know of a good reference to how networking works on P series IBM servers running virtualised AIX with mutilple CECS and VIOs ?

I am trying to get my head round this so as to find the best way to connect such a beast to some Nexus switches for redundancy.

Thanks

Pat

VIOs (for LAN) are close to VMWare virtual switches.

You can use active/standby uplinks or etherchannel, either in straight through or VPCs topologies.
