* * 虚拟 I/O 服务器是一个特别的分区，用于提供 I/O 资源的共享，即将虚拟存储和虚拟网络资源提供给虚拟 I/O 客户机分区使用。 The Fibre Channel or SCSI controllers in the VIO Server can be accessed using Virtual SCSI controllers in the clients A Shared Ethernet Adapter in the VIO Server can be a layer 2 bridge for virtual Ethernet adapters in the clients Inter-partition communication (client-server model) provided via the POWER Hypervisor Clients “see” virtual disks as traditional AIX SCSI hdisks, although they may be a physical disk or logical volume on the VIO Server One physical disk on a VIO server can provide virtual disks to several clients by assigning each of them a logical volume * * * The POWER Hypervisor provides a virtual Ethernet switch function that allows partitions on the same server to use a fast and secure communication without any need for physical interconnection. The virtual Ethernet allows a transmission speed in the range of 1 to 3 Gbps. depending on the MTU1 size and CPU entitlement. Virtual Ethernet support starts with AIX Version 5.3, or appropriate level of Linux supporting Virtual Ethernet devices. The virtual Ethernet is part of the base system configuration. Virtual Ethernet has the following major features: The virtual Ethernet adapters can be used for both IPv4 and IPv6 communication and can transmit packets with a size up to 65408 bytes. Therefore, the maximum MTU for the corresponding interface can be up to 65394 (65390 if VLAN tagging is used). The POWER Hypervisor presents itself to partitions as a virtual 802.1Q compliant switch. The maximum number of VLANs is 4096. Virtual Ethernet adapters can be configured as either untagged or tagged (following the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN standard). A partition supports 256 virtual Ethernet adapters. Besides a default port VLAN ID, the number of additional VLAN ID values that can be assigned per Virtual Ethernet adapter is 20, which implies that each Virtual Ethernet adapter can be used to access 21 virtual networks. Each partition operating syste
