What is VIOS?

Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) is software that runs on a logical partition of a Power Systems server. It virtualizes physical I/O resources (like network adapters and storage) so that other logical partitions on the same server can share them. This reduces the need for dedicated physical I/O hardware for each logical partition, leading to cost savings and improved resource utilization. VIOS is commonly used in environments where multiple operating systems or applications need to run on a single physical server.
