Thanks. The link in the section
5. Implementing IBM i client LPARs with an IBM i host
Installing IBM i in a client LPAR with an IBM i host consists of two main
phases:
â Creating the virtual SCSI configuration in the HMC
â Creating the NWSSTG and NWSD objects in the IBM i host partition, and
activating the
new client partition
The implementation steps are described in detail in the topic Creating an
IBM i logical partition
that uses IBM i virtual I/O resources using the HMC in the Power Systems
Logical Partitioning
Guide:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/hw/topic/iphdx/sa76-0098.pdf
.
Note that sufficient available capacity is required in the IBM i host
partition to create the storage
space objects. When following the detailed implementation instructions,
keep in mind the
performance recommendations in section 4.2 of this document.
would be the starting point. IF IT WORKED!!!
But it gave me an idea for a search string that was able to find this
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/hw/topic/iphat/iphat.pdf
I did find how to get there from Infocenter also.
Basically, you just can't save the old machine to virtual tape and use
that image catalog to move it to a guested lpar. To install a new lpar,
or do a complete reload requires some sort of physical media.
Now, if you're one of those gluttons for punishment that like to take
systems that are so old that they have no valid migration path to a
current system and move it without doing any intermediate release
upgrades, then you could probably figure out how to install just the lic
and os on the guested lpar and then restore the rest from your image
catalog.
