HP-UX Gurus:
I am setting up a new HP iVM Host Server. I have created a couple of vswitches using hpvmnet. I do see that the numbers are a bit mismatched. I want to assign the number "2" to vswitch0 (it has taken up #5 by itself). Is there a way to modify this number?
#hpvmnet
Name Number State Mode NamePPA MAC Address IPv4 Address
===================== ====== ======= ========= ======= ============== ===============
localnet 1 Up Shared N/A N/A
vswitch0 5 Up Shared lan900 0x00215a9b03e8
vswitch1 4 Up Shared lan901 0x00215a9b03f0
#
P.S.This thread has been moved from Operating Systems>HP-UX>System Administration to HP-UX > virtualization
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Setting up vswitches on a HP iVM Host
If you just created it and did not install any iVMs in that physical HOST, then I would prefer recreating the vSwitch is the best solution.
Delete the vSwitch:
hpvmnet -d -s 5 -F
Create the vSwitch :
hpvmnet -c -S vswitch0 -n 2

SolutionThe -n 2 doesn't change the id of the vswitch only connect it to lan2.
HPVM keeps track of the last assigned vswitch id in /var/adm/hpvm/common/hpvmnet_id and gets
the new id automatically based on that.
It's probably good idea to remove the all the vswitches above the id that you want if you decide
to play with that so that you won't hit overlapping IDs later.

Re: Setting up vswitches on a HP iVM Host
I was able to recreate the virtual switch by deleting the existing one. However, that only creates a vswitch with the next number in queue - not with the number I want it to. Thanks for your your inputs. I really appreciate it.
