=head1 NAME B<mkvm> - Creates HMC- and IVM-managed partitions. =head1 SYNOPSIS I<mkvm [-h| --help]> I<mkvm [-v| --version]> I<mkvm [-V| --verbose] singlenode -i id -n name> I<mkvm [-V| --verbose] src_fsp -c dest_fsp> =head1 DESCRIPTION The mkvm command creates a new partition with the same profile/resources as the partition specified by singlenode. The -i and -n flags specify the numeric partition number and name of the newly created partition, respectively. The second form of this command duplicates all the partitions associated with src_fsp to dest_fsp. Note that src_dest and dest_fsp must be associated with the same HMC. Newly created partitions are automatically added to the xCAT database. =head1 OPTIONS B<-h> Display usage message. B<-c> Copy partitions from src_fsp to dest_fsp on single HMC B<-i> New partition numeric id B<-n> New partition name B<-v> Command Version. B<-V> Verbose output. =head1 RETURN VALUE 0 The command completed successfully. 1 An error has occurred. =head1 EXAMPLES 1. To create a new partition lpar5 based on the profile/resources of lpar4, enter: I<mkvm lpar4 -i 5 -n lpar5> Output is similar to: lpar5: Success 2. To duplicate all the partitions associated with fsp01 on fsp02, enter: I<mkvm fsp01 .c fsp02> Output is similar to: fsp02: Success =head1 FILES /opt/xcat/bin/mkvm =head1 NOTES This command is part of the xCAT software product.
