288 IBM Flex System p260 and p460 Planning and Implementation Guide
Verification of success
A successful command produces a prompt with no message displayed.
To verify that the VIO Server was created, run smcli lssyscfg, scanning the
results for the name of your virtual server:
sysadmin@sys1234567: ~> smcli lssyscfg -r lpar -m p4601 -F name
7989-SLES
7989-AIX
7989-RHEL6
7989-VIOS
vios1
To verify the content of the profile created as a result, run smcli lssyscfg with
different parameters:
sysadmin@sys1234567: ~> smcli lsysscfg -r prof -m p4601 --filter
lpar_names=vios1
Recognition of failure
There are many reasons that your CLI command might fail. A syntax error is the
most likely, producing something like the following output. Use the information in
the message to correct the problem.
An error occurred while creating the partition named vios1.
The format of the configuration data is invalid. The correct format is
"<attribute name 1>=<value>,<attribute name 2>=<value>,..." or
""<attribute name 1>=<value 1>,<value 2>,...>",..." . Please correct
the configuration data and retry the command. Note that depending on
the shell being used, any nested double quote characters may need to be
preceded by an escape character, which is usually a '\' character.
7.2.2 Using the IBM Flex System Manager
This section describes the sequence to perform the same steps described in
7.2.1, “Using the CLI” on page 287, but with the FSM GUI instead.
Accessing the IBM Flex System Manager
IBM Flex System Manager can be accessed in one of two ways:
򐂰 Locally with a keyboard, mouse, and screen attached directly to port at the
front panel of the FSM through the Console Breakout Cable.
򐂰 Through a web browser to the FSM web interface.
