=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
=head2 For PPC:
|
|
|
|
For PPC (with HMC) specific:
|
|
|
|
The first form of mkvm command creates new partition(s) with the same profile/resources as the partition specified by I<singlenode>. The -i and I<noderange> specify the starting numeric partition number and the I<noderange> for the newly created partitions, respectively. The LHEA port numbers and the HCA index numbers will be automatically increased if they are defined in the source partition.
|
|
|
|
The second form of this command duplicates all the partitions from the source specified by I<profile> to the destination specified by I<destcec>. The source and destination CECs can be managed by different HMCs.
|
|
|
|
Please make sure the nodes in the I<noderange> is defined in the I<nodelist> table and the I<mgt> is set to 'hmc' in the I<nodehm> table before running this command.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the mkvm command currently only supports creating standard LPARs, not virtual LPARs working with VIOS server.
|
|
|
|
=head2 For KVM:
|
|
|
|
mkvm ....
|
|
|
|
=head2 For zVM:
|
|
|
|
The first form of mkvm creates a new virtual machine based on a directory entry.
|
|
|
|
The second form of this creates a new virtual machine with the same profile/resources as the specified node (cloning).

=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
1. To create a new partition lpar5 based on the profile/resources of lpar4, enter:
|
|
|
|
mkdef -t node -o lpar5 mgt=hmc groups=all
|
|
|
|
then:
|
|
|
|
mkvm lpar5 -i 5 -l lpar4
|
|
|
|
Output is similar to:
|
|
|
|
lpar5: Success
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. To create new partitions lpar5-lpar8 based on the profile/resources of lpar4, enter:
|
|
|
|
mkdef -t node -o lpar5-lpar8 mgt=hmc groups=all
|
|
|
|
then:
|
|
|
|
mkvm lpar5-lpar8 -i 5 -l lpar4
|
|
|
|
Output is similar to:
|
|
|
|
lpar5: Success
|
|
lpar6: Success
|
|
lpar7: Success
|
|
lpar8: Success
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. To duplicate all the partitions associated with cec01 on cec02, first save the lpars from cec01 to a file:
|
|
|
|
lsvm lpar01-lpar04 > /tmp/myprofile
|
|
|
|
then create lpars on cec02:
|
|
|
|
mkvm lpar05-lpar08 -c cec02 -p /tmp/myprofile
|
|
|
|
Output is similar to:
|
|
|
|
lpar5: Success
|
|
lpar6: Success
|
|
lpar7: Success
|
|
lpar8: Success
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. To duplicate all the partitions associated with cec01 on cec02, one is for cec01, the other is for cec02:
|
|
|
|
mkdef -t node -o lpar5,lpar6 mgt=hmc groups=all
|
|
chtab node=lpar5 ppc.parent=cec01
|
|
chtab node=lpar6 ppc.parent=cec02
|
|
|
|
then create lpars on cec01 and cec02:
|
|
|
|
mkvm lpar5,lpar6 --full
|
|
|
|
Output is similar to:
|
|
|
|
lpar5: Success
|
|
lpar6: Success
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. To create a new virtual machine (gpok3) based on a directory entry:
|
|
|
|
mkvm gpok3 /tmp/dirEntry.txt
|
|
|
|
Output is similar to:
|
|
|
|
gpok3: Creating user directory entry for LNX3... Done
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. To clone a new virtual machine with the same profile/resources as the specified node:
|
|
|
|
mkvm gpok4 gpok3 pool=POOL1
|
|
|
|
Output is similar to:
|
|
|
|
