AIX, LPAR's

Hi,

Do you mean Cloning the LPAR disk? If it is the case please follow the isntructions here:

cheers,
K:

No I want to create a new LPAR on the same disk.

Can I somehow copy the LV toanother LV, and assign it to a vhost ?

You asked this same question before:

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27849703/AIX-and-LPARS.html

and you accepted a solution.

Didn't it work as expected?

The document posted bascially said that you can examine your vg, umount the appropriate fs, deactivate the vg, export the vg, then the disk references are removed from the vg.

At this point storage is assigne dto the target LPAR, import it to a new disk, and then check and mount the fs's.

lsvgfs sparevg
umount /scratch
varyoffvg sparevg
exportvg sparevg

rmdev -d -l hdisk1
(Reboot LPAR)
importvg -y sparevg hdisk1
fsck /scratch
mount /scratch

Select allOpen in new window

However, my configuration is that I have a single disk, and I assigned my LV directly to my rootvg

# lsvg
rootvg
#
# lspv
hdisk0          000f10cacbdb2a6a                    rootvg          active      
#

Select allOpen in new window

I only have a single disk, and can not aquire any others

So what I really want to do is to copy a LV (not a vg) to another LV and attach it to vhost

For instance, in a previous installation I created 4 distinct LPAR's on a SAS and assigned 4 different vshots (this 4 different LPAR's).  So instead of copying vg's, I want to copy lv's.

Is this possible as a method of makeing multiple LPAR's

Actually I missed that.  I think I accepted the solution before I saw your post.

The answer looks great.  I will give it a try

Thanks for your help
