84 IBM BladeCenter JS23 and JS43 Implementation Guide
You can use either interface to create, delete, and update the logical partitions
and perform dynamic operations on LPARs (DLPAR) including the VIOS itself.
4.2.1 VIOS installation considerations
The Virtual I/O Server installation is performed like a native install of AIX. The
basic requirements are:
Console access, provided by Serial over LAN (SoL) or KVM
AIX media or a NIM server
A BladeCenter media tray assigned to the target blade, or network access to
a NIM server
Internal or external storage availability
4.2.2 IVM user interface
The IVM user interface is a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)-based
interface. It enables you to create LPARs on a single managed system, manage
the virtual storage and virtual Ethernet on the managed system, perform
maintenance, and view service information related to the managed system.
The IVM UI consists of several elements. The following two elements will be used
most frequently:
Navigation area The navigation area on the left side of the window
displays the tasks and links that you can access in the
work area.
Work area The work area on the right side of the window contains
information related to management tasks that you perform
using IVM and related to the objects on which you can
perform management tasks.
Figure 4-6 on page 85 shows the navigation and works of the IVM UI. UI help
can be obtained from any window by clicking the ? link in the upper right corner
of any window or view.
