Sample VGP and VGJ XML files - IBM AIX (LPAR with shared storage pool)

This topic provides a sample Virtual Guest Package and Virtual Guest Job XML files that provision an IBM AIX LPAR that uses a shared storage pool.

About the shared storage pool settings

You use the parameters in the virtual disk section to add a disk that uses a shared storage pool.

<VirtualDisk>
  <Name>VDssp215</Name>
  <SizeInGB>2</SizeInGB>
  <Location>bsacluster1:bsassp1</Location>
  <LocationType>Shared Storage Pool</LocationType>
  <ProvisionType>thin</ProvisionType>
</VirtualDisk>

<VirtualDisk>
  <Name></Name>
  <SizeInGB>5</SizeInGB>
  <Location>bsacluster1:bsassp1</Location>
  <LocationType>Shared Storage Pool</LocationType>
  <ProvisionType>thick</ProvisionType>
</VirtualDisk>

The first section adds a 2 GB thin provisioned shared storage pool disk with the name VDssp215.

The second section adds a 5 GB thick provisioned shared storage pool disk with an auto-generated name (the <Name> tag is left blank).
