Figure 5-28 Dual VIOS configuration on a PS704
Once the two Virtual I/O Servers are installed, the normal methods of creating a Share
Ethernet Adapter (SEA) failover for virtual networking, and redundant paths for the client
virtual server disks (NPIV and vSCSI), can be configured.
5.5.4 Virtual server Suspend and Resume
A virtual server working in conjunction with a VIOS reserved storage device pool can suspend
the operating system and applications. When the virtual server is resumed the prior running
processes are also resumed. The processor and memory resources of a suspended virtual
server can be re-assigned to other virtual servers if needed.
When using the SDMC to create a new AIX/Linux or IBM i virtual server a check box option
lets you make the virtual server suspend capable (Figure 5-29).
Figure 5-29 Setting suspend/resume option
Initiating a suspend or resume operation is done by right-clicking the server of interest and
making selections from the context menu. Figure 5-30 on page 176 shows how to start the
suspend or resume operation.
