Create a Virtual target device

$ mkvdev -vdev hdisk1 -vadapter vhost0 -dev sys414_lpar7
sys414_lpar7 Available
Details
§  -vdev -- the backing devic for the vdev
§  -vadapter -- the virtual adapter on the VIO to bind the vscsi disk
§  -dev -- the virtual device name that you want to assign

get the device mapping details

(Optional) create an LPAR

Create an LPAR.. Follow the Wizzard...

When it asks for the virtual devices.. create a new Vitual SCSI device. Assign the server's virtual SCSI ID to this Virtual SCSI's 'Server Adapter id'
