Chapter 3. Standalone SCSI rootvg to virtual SCSI 47
d. For the File system to store final CD images question, you can leave it
blank or chose to use options such as an NFS file system. An NFS file
system was used in this example (the /mnt/cdiso NFS file system that was
previously created).
e. Select Yes for the Do you want the CD to be bootable option.
f. Select No for the Remove final images after creating CD option.
g. Select No for the Create the CD now option.
h. Press Enter to begin the system backup creation. When the operation
completes successfully, there is a file or files located in the default
/mkcd/cd_images directory or the location that you specified if you modified
the input in step 3 on page 46d.
i. To check which files where created, exit smitty and change the directory
to the directory that you provided at step d above. Issue the ls command.
In this example an NFS file system was used to store the files:
# ls /mnt/cdiso/cd_*
/mnt/cdiso/cd_image_82472.vol1 /mnt/cdiso/cd_image_82472.vol3
/mnt/cdiso/cd_image_82472.vol2 /mnt/cdiso/cd_image_82472.vol4

On the Virtual I/O Server: part 1
On the Virtual I/O Server, create the disk and map to the required logical
partition:
4. Allocate a destination disk and verify that it meets the allocated size of the
standalone client’s rootvg as determined from the previous steps. The disk
may be a LUN presented by a virtual SCSI, or from a storage pool on the
Virtual I/O Server.
5. Create a mapping using the allocated disk from the Virtual I/O Server to the
client logical partition using the Virtual I/O Server mkvdev command:
$ mkvdev -vdev vp1rootvg -vadapter vhost0
6. Ensure that you have already created at least one virtual SCSI adapter
between the target Virtual I/O Server and the logical partition. Use the lsdev
-virtual command for verification:
$ lsdev -virtual
