That will not work.
 Use the list to select the IBM i client partition you want to use
 Specify the next available (determined above) Client Adapter slot number and click OK
to create the server Virtual SCSI Adapter
Create Client SCSI Adapter
Perform the following steps to create a client SCSI adapter:
 Click the Resources tab of the SDMC welcome screen and select the checkbox next to
the IBM i client you are configuring.
 Click Actions-> System Configuration -> Manage Profiles
 Select a profile and select Actions->Edit… to edit the profile

5.3.4 Creating multiple Virtual SCSI adapters using the SDMC
When using an SDMC to manage Power Blades, you can create virtual SCSI adapters to create
the virtual SCSI connection between VIOS and the IBM i client partition. In this section you will
see how to create server adapter and client adapter pair. You need to determine the next
adapter slot that is available for both the VIOS and the IBM i partitions. The slot numbers are
used to tie the adapters together.
Use the Current configuration for the VIOS and IBM i partition’s to note the next available
virtual adapter slot number.
Create Server SCSI Adapter
Perform the following steps to create a server SCSI adapter.
 Log into SDMC with sysadmin as the user ID or using another user ID.
 From the Resources tab of the SDMC, select the blade from the list of hosts and select
the checkbox next to the VIOS you are configuring.
 Click Actions-> System Configuration -> Manage Profiles
 Select a profile and select Actions->Edit… to edit the profile
 Click the Virtual Adapters tab and then click Actions -> Create Virtual Adapter ->
SCSI Adapter…
 Specify the next available (determined above) Server Adapter slot number click “Only
