Cloning a VIOS

First step is to clone the OS:

  • Using hardware clone on storage array
  • Using software cloning on VIOS: alt_disk_copy -d hdiskx

Then once the cloned disk is assign to the second VIOS, start it and

# stopsrc -g rsct_rm; stopsrc -g rsct
# chdev -l cluster0 -a node_uuid=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

Or

# odmdelete -o CuAt -q 'attibute=node_uuid'

Now generate a new node ID

# /usr/sbin/rsct/bin/mknodeid -f
# lsattr -El cluster0
# /usr/sbin/rsct/bin/lsnodeid
# /usr/sbin/rsct/install/bin/recfgct
# lspartition -dlpar
# lssrc -g rsct_rm; lssrc -g rsct
# startsrc -s ctcas

cleanup the CMDB
