Does VPAR6.0 support APA well ? 

Does VPAR6.0 supports other  adapters such as scsi and lan, or it only supports avio_stor and avio_lan?

Hi Jack,

You can use APA on the VSP to create an APA-backed vswitch and then configure your vPars to attach to this vswitch.  Is that the usage model you are asking about, or are you wanting to use APA inside the vPar?

VIO has been deprecated.  AVIO should be used for any vPars v6 networking or storage devices, including NPIV virtual HBAs.

Regards,

Dave

Hi Dave,

As an alternative to an APA-backed vswitch is it possible to use Serviceguard on the host to do lan failover and then does vPars 6.x include a vswitchmon like HPVM does that watches for cmcld activity and moves a vswitch between interfaces?

Hi Joe

We do not yet support Serviceguard in the VSP for vPars 6.0. We are looking into adding this feature.

Thanks
