Hello,
I installed PowerVM IVM Virtual I/O on P-550 but later found out that the machine isn't activated for CoD VET code for virtualization.
So when booted , it goes into OPEN Firmware
I/O Hosting requires a hosting partition boot not permitted exit called
> ok
Panel shows > IO Hosting
> ok
> boot disk
....error messages
> boot cd
....error messages
On the control panel i cannot go to 08 -- Fast shutdown of machine
I can only change 1,2,4,11,20
the question: How can I reboot the machine without pulling the power cords ?
This is how CoD on ASMI looks like to enable PowerVM IVM Virtual I/O VIOS for the machine
