A customer will be consolidating a number of IBM i and AIX partitions from several older servers
onto an existing S824 These partitions are parts of various operating groups within the customer
and require connectivity to various private networks and network redundancy. The server utilizes
SAN Storage and dual VIO Server partitions.
Which solution satisfies the customer’s requirements?
A.
Add two additional VIO Server partitions each with a quad port Ethernet card. Create an SEA in
VIO Server to each port of the Ethernet card.
Configure virtual Ethernet connections to the VIO Server partitions for each SEA with one flagged
priority
B.
Utilize two of the IBM i Partitions to bridge to the outside
Attach a quad port Ethernet IOA to each partition and bridge the ports lo internal VLANs needed
by the guest partitions.
C.
Add two SR-IOV capable Ethernet adapters.
Allocate each of them to the partitions and create the connections to the correct VLANs as
needed.
D.
In the existing VIO Server partitions, add a quad port Ethernet card. Create an SEA in VIOS to
each port of the Ethernet card. Configure virtual Ethernet connections to the VIO Server partitions
for each SEA with one flagged priority.
Explanation:
D it is not necessary to add VIO

It is technically feasible to configure B = bridge, but this solution is more friendly for IBM i experts, than HMC management. considering the client already has dual vios, I would suggest C = Single root IO virtualization.
