7.4 Creating an AIX or Linux virtual server
Creating an AIX or Linux virtual server is similar to creating a VIOS virtual server.
Use the same process shown in 7.2, “Creating the VIOS virtual server” on
page 286, but with some differences. The differences between creating a VIOS
and an AIX or Linux virtual server are:
򐂰 The Environment option in the initial window is set to AIX/Linux.
򐂰 No physical I/O adapters must be defined, if the virtual server is virtualized. In
this case, a VIOS must be defined to provide virtualized access to network
and storage.
򐂰 The virtual server might use all physical resources, running as a full
system partition.
򐂰 The virtual server can be defined as suspend capable.
7.5 Creating an IBM i virtual server
You can install the IBM i operating system in a client virtual server of a VIOS.
Begin by completing the steps in 7.2, “Creating the VIOS virtual server” on
page 286 to create the VIOS.
