=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 noderange>
|
|
|
|
I<mkvm [-V| --verbose] srccec -c destcec>
|
|
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The mkvm command creates new partition(s) with the same profile/resources as the partition specified by singlenode. The -i and -n flags specify the starting numeric partition number and the noderange for the newly created partitions, respectively. The second form of this command duplicates all the partitions associated with srccec to destcec. Note that srcdest and destcec must be associated with the same HMC. Newly created partitions are automatically added to the xCAT database.
