|
|
|
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_cec -c dest_cec>
|
|
|
|
|
|
=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_cec to dest_cec. Note that src_dest and dest_cec must be associated with the same HMC. Newly created partitions are automatically added to the xCAT database.
