Step 3. Allocate Resources for Production Use

The ppfname PLANINFO file produced during product materials installation contains the directory entries for user IDs created for each product deployment as well as a list of the disk space needed.

You defined the name of the product server virtual machine when you issued the VMDEFINE command in Step 1 above. You may have altered the definition to add optional product server disks. In this step, you combine the definition in the VMSERVER NAMES file with the product user ID configuration and disk size information from the PLANINFO file to create the defined server machine and allocate disk space for the product deployment.

For more information about how the VMALLOC command is configured and used, see the appendix Allocating User ID Entries and Disk Space and then issue the command as described.

If you are allocating resources for a Single System Image environment, skip to the section SSI Environment Allocation.
