You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to change the physical adapters that a running logical partition uses.

ensure that the Integrated Virtualization Manager is at version 1.5 or later.

I checked the above link and checked my POWERVM IVM

For the IVM VIOS Partition
Dynamic Logical Partitioning (DLPAR)

Partition hostname or IP address: xx.xx.xx.xx
Partition communication state: Active
Memory DLPAR capable: Yes
Processing DLPAR capable: Yes
I/O adapter DLPAR capable: Yes

For all other Client Partitions, which are switched on and off
Partition hostname or IP address:
Partition communication state: Not Configured
Memory DLPAR capable: No
Processing DLPAR capable: No
I/O adapter DLPAR capable: No

Question #1 : How can I enable the client partitions to be I/O adapter DLPAR capable: YES ?

Now, my system plan on IVM VIOS shows regarding the Fibre Adapter

Code:
Cards
Backplane Slot Bus Device Feature or CCIN Device Description Device Serial # Order Status Used by Partition / Profile
P1 C1 3 Fibre Channel Serial Bus 1F8030C37B Own vios / vios

Code:
# lsdev -Cc adapter | grep fcs0

# lscfg -vl fcs0
fcs0 U787B.001.DNW3313-P1-C1-T1 FC Adapter

Bash for multiple accounts with auto-gen passwords

Leave a comment

By Shelldorado

Hello,

I am studying few things on unux and scripting. I need a script to create bulk users in unux. I need some assistance from you for creating 100 or more User IDs using a bash script:

Here’s my requirements:

1. I need to create 100 or even more user ids of different naming
conventions. So, I would like to have a separate file(Example:
usernames.txt) where I can paste the user ids, Name for Each ID, Group Name
or GID, Serial Number) and call that file in the script

2. The script should contain the block of code that will auto-generate
random 8-character long alphanumeric and mixed-case passwords without
special characters or symbols(Something like

< /dev/urandom tr -dc
A-Za-z0-9_ | head -c8 )

for each ID and these system-generated passwords should be saved in a different file after the script is run. (Example:
passwords.txt)

I googled but couldn’t find a solid script for my above requirements.
