Chapter 5. Partition creation using the HMC 161
To create a virtual SCSI server adapter, select Server for the adapter type (see Figure 5-22).
The connection information also needs to be specified. Connection information determines
who can connect to the resource. For a virtual disk that contains data that only needs to be
accessed in a read only fashion, allowing Any remote partition and slot can connect would
be okay. For write access, specifying Only selected remote partition and slot can connect
may be a better choice.

Highlight the desired resource and click the Select button. After the resource is selected, click
