dpmlpar image Command--Create an IBM AIX LPAR

The dpmlpar image command creates an IBM AIX LPAR using the HMC/IVM and a target IBM AIX managed system. (Optional) You can deploy the IBM AIX operating system after you create the LPAR.

Example: localhost.ca.com

port

Defines the listening port for the service controller server.

Example: 80

-hmc name

Specifies the Hardware Management Console (HMC) or Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM) that controls the managed systems where the logical partition resides.

-managed_system managedsystemname

Specifies the managed system on which the logical partition resides. The managed system must exist on the HMC/IVM.

-partition_name partitionname

Specifies the name of a logical partition to create.

-profile_name lparprofile (HMC only)

[-profile_name lparname] (IVM only)

Specifies the partition profile to use when you activate the logical partition. Required for HMC. Optional for IVM, and if specified the name must match the partition name.
