Overview

VIOS (Virtual I/O Server) is IBM Power Systems’ I/O virtualization layer that shares physical devices (e.g., NICs, storage) across multiple LPARs. It sits atop the AIX/PowerVM stack, so security issues in AIX can affect VIOS deployments; recent IBM advisories underscore exploitable vulnerabilities in AIX and related products, which elevates risk for VIOS environments.
