Rather, QDIO is a hardware feature, for

it fails with the message:

With the new portname requirement for OSA Express QDIO cards, has anyone
tried ipling a 2.4.7 install tape in an lpar and use QDIO?
I was wondering how this would work since, under 2.4.7, the portname is
entered on a separate card (addparm). In 2.2.16, QDIO is on a single
parameter line.
