Connect the LAN Cable (If Applicable)
The LAN cable is recommended because each active partition reports errors to the
HMC’s Service Focal Point application through the LAN network. The HMC must be
attached to the system’s LAN, and each partition should have a LAN adapter assigned
as a resource.
Connect the LAN to the adapters assigned to each partition and to the LAN connection
on the HMC system hardware.

each logical partition running an instance of AIX, all partitions must be configured in
order to conduct microcode surveys or collect Vital Product Data (VPD).
