System Plan could be created from HMC and IVM & VIOS
Create a System Plan
You can create system plans by using any of the following methods:
- System Planning Tool (SPT)SPT helps you design a system to fit your needs, whether you want to design a logically partitioned system or want to design an unpartitioned system. SPT incorporates the function from Workload Estimator to help you create an overall system plan. The SPT opens the Workload Estimator to help you gather and integrate workload data, and provides advanced users with the option of creating a system plan without the help of additional tools.
- Integrated Virtualization Manager Web user interface (GUI)You can use the IVM to create a system plan based on the configuration of the managed system. You can export the system plan to the local file system. You then can use the IVM on another managed system to import the system plan from the local file system and deploy that plan to its managed system. Based on the logical partition configuration in the system plan, the IVMcreates logical partitions on the managed system to which it deploys the system plan.
- IVM command-line interfaceYou also can use the mksysplan command to create a system plan. The IVM creates the system plan based on the configuration information of the existing managed system and stores this information in the system plan. After using the mksysplan command, you can also use the command-line interface to perform other tasks, such as deploy the system plan.
