NOTE: The CLI accepts either avio_lan or aviolan and either avio_stor or aviostor.
For example, the following hpvmcreate commands add both an AVIO network and an AVIO
disk to the guest aviotest:
# hpvmcreate -P aviotest -O hpux -a network:aviolan::vswitch:swlan1 \
-a disk:aviostor::disk/dev/rdisk/disk1
# hpvmcreate -P aviotest -O hpux -a network:avio_lan::vswitch:swlan1 \
-a disk:avio_stor::disk/dev/rdisk/disk1
The AVIO network host driver allows simultaneous access to a vswitch from guests configured
with or without AVIO guest drivers for their virtual network interface cards (vNICs). Existing
guests continue to operate correctly and their configurations remain unchanged. Guests configured
to use a common vswitch are allowed to share VLANs that are in use by guests with or without
AVIO configured. Ports remain distinct for each running guest whether or not AVIO is in use.
AVIO networks must use a Supported Host Physical Point Attachment (PPA) network device.
For a list of supported AVIO PPAs, see the HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.3: Release Notes.
NOTE: When using AVIO networking devices for guests that are configured as Serviceguard
Packages, be sure that all Serviceguard standby lans are configured using PPA devices supported
by AVIO. Failure to do so causes network connectivity to be lost even if the standby link is up.
AVIO increases the maximum number of devices that can be supported in a guest to 256. The
dynamic addition and deletion of AVIO storage devices is supported, and the following
backing-store options are supported:
• Disk (such as /dev/rdisk/disk1)
• Null (for DVD devices only)
• File
• Volume (lv)
• Tape
