Creating LPAR Using SSH

Get the configuration data from existing LPAR

If you already have LPARs created you can use this command to get their configuration which can be reused as template: 
lssyscfg -r prof -m SERVERNAME --filter "lpar_ids=X, profile_names=normal"

Create new LPAR using command line

Here is an example, for more information see '''man mksyscfg'''

mksyscfg -r lpar -m MACHINE -i name=LPARNAME, profile_name=normal, lpar_env=aixlinux, shared_proc_pool_util_auth=1, 
min_mem=512, desired_mem=2048, max_mem=4096, proc_mode=shared, min_proc_units=0.2, desired_proc_units=0.5, 
max_proc_units=2.0, min_procs=1, desired_procs=2, max_procs=2, sharing_mode=uncap, uncap_weight=128,
boot_mode=norm, conn_monitoring=1, shared_proc_pool_util_auth=1

Create more LPARs using configuration file

If you want to create more LPARS at once you can use a configuration file and provide it as input for mksyscfg.
Here is an example for 3 LPARs, each definition starting at new line:

name=LPAR1,profile_name=normal,lpar_env=aixlinux,all_resources=0,min_mem=1024,desired_mem=9216,max_mem=9216,proc_mode=shared,min_proc_units=0.3,desired_proc_units=1.0,max_proc_units=3.0,min_procs=1,desired_procs=3,max_procs=3,sharing_mode=uncap,uncap_weight=128,lpar_io_pool_ids=none,max_virtual_slots=10,"virtual_scsi_adapters=6/client/4/vio1a/11/1,7/client/9/vio2a/11/1","virtual_eth_adapters=4/0/3//0/1,5/0/4//0/1",boot_mode=norm,conn_monitoring=1,auto_start=0,power_ctrl_lpar_ids=none,work_group_id=none,shared_proc_pool_util_auth=1

name=LPAR3,profile_name=normal,lpar_env=aixlinux,all_resources=0,min_mem=1024,desired_mem=15360,max_mem=15360,proc_mode=shared,min_proc_units=0.4,desired_proc_units=1.0,max_proc_units=4.0,min_procs=1,desired_procs=4,max_procs=4,sharing_mode=uncap,uncap_weight=128,lpar_io_pool_ids=none,max_virtual_slots=10,"virtual_scsi_adapters=6/client/4/vio1a/13/1,7/client/9/vio2a/13/1","virtual_eth_adapters=4/0/3//0/1,5/0/4//0/1",boot_mode=norm,conn_monitoring=1,auto_start=0,power_ctrl_lpar_ids=none,work_group_id=none,shared_proc_pool_util_auth=1

Copy this file to HMC and run: 
mksyscfg -r lpar -m SERVERNAME -f /tmp/profiles.txt
