Full Discussion: setting default PP size
Operating Systems AIX setting default PP size Post 302225141 by kah00na on Thursday 14th of August 2008 03:09:22 PM

Another thing you could try, I'm not sure if it would work or not, is to create a mksysb backup to your NIM server, copy over the image.data and bosinst.data files to you NIM server also. Modify the copied image.data file and set the PP size to what you want the rootvg PP size to be. You will also have to update the "PP_SIZE", "PP", and "LPs" variables for each filesystem also in the image.data file in accordance with the change in the rootvg PP size. Setup all three items as NIM resources. Restore the mksysb and specify the image.data and bosinst.data NIM resources and when NIM goes to create the rootvg, he "should" create it with the PP size specified in the image.data file.

I did something similar to this to change our rootvg filesystems from JFS to JFS2. IBM said they didn't "officially" support what I did, but they did say it would work.

tgtimg

TGTIMG(8)																 TGTIMG(8)

NAME

       tgtimg - Linux SCSI Target Framework Image File Utility

SYNOPSIS

       tgtimg [-o --op <operation>] [-Y --device-type <device-type>] [-b --barcode <barcode>] [-s --size <size>] [-t --type <media-type>]
	      [-f --file <path>]

       tgtimg --help

DESCRIPTION

       Tgtimg is a utility to create and manage the image files used by the TGTD device emulation.

       This command is used to initialize device image files with the additional metadata, such as barcode, list of blocks, total size, etc that
       the TGTD emulation needs.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	   Show a help screen and exit.

       -o, --op {new|show}
	   Operation. Is either new to create a new image file or show to show the content of an existing image file.

       -Y, --device-type <type>
	   This specifies the type of image file.

	   Supported device types are :
	       cd   : to create media for a dvd device
	       disk : to create media for a disk device
	       tape : to create media for a tape device

       -t, --type <media-type>
	   When creating a new image, this specifies the type of media to emulate. The available mediatypes depend on the type of the device.

	   Supported media types for cd devices are :
	       dvd+r : create a blank writeable DVD+R disk

	   Supported media types for disk devices are :
	       disk  : create an empty disk

	   Supported media types for tape devices are :
	       data  : create a normal data tape
	       clean : create a cleaning tape
	       worm  : create a worm

       -b, --barcode <barcode>
	   When creating a new image, this argument specifies the barcode to use with this image file. Backup application software often uses
	   barcodes to identify specific tapes. When emulating a VTL, make sure that all tape images use unique barcodes.

       -s, --size <size>
	   When creating a new image, this specifies the size in megabytes for the virtual tape image.

       -f, --file <path>
	   The filename of the image file.

EXAMPLES

       To create a new 100MByte disk

		 tgtimg --op new --device-type disk --type disk --size 100 --file /data/hd001.raw

       To create a new tape image

		 tgtimg --op new --device-type tape --barcode 12345 --size 100 --type data --file /data/tape001.img

       To view the content of an existing image

		 tgtimg --op show --device-type tape --file /data/tape001.img

       To create a new blank DVD+R image

		 tgtimg --op new --device-type cd --type dvd+r --file /data/dvd001.iso
