Sounds like a good article to write, however - first things first.

I assume you do not have an HMC, so you should be using IVM - Integrated Virtual Manager.

To use IVM you need to accept the license from the command line. Basically, you cannot do anything on the VIOS until you have done that.

Login to the IVM as padmin and use the wizard to create a partition.

A lot of this is quite easy, BUT if you do not understand how virtual ethernet is configured, it may be a bit difficult.

Ah, one command that may help to get started - giving an IP address after accepting the license.

Code:

login as padmin on the serial port
$ license -accept
$ mktcpip
Command requires an option.

Usage: 
       To add a static IPv4 address:
       mktcpip -hostname HostName -inetaddr Address -interface Interface
               [-start] [-netmask SubnetMask] [-cabletype CableType]
               [-gateway Gateway] [-nsrvaddr NameServerAddress
               -nsrvdomain Domain]

$ mktcpip -hostname myvios -inetaddr 192.168.252.252 -interface en0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 -gateway 192.168.252.1 -nsrvaddr 192.168.19.18 -nsrvdomain power.local

Then from your desktop/laptop: login the the IVM interface at:

Code:

http://192.168.252.252

(or http://myvios.power.local using hostname and DNS)

pbuilder-uml.conf

pbuilder-uml.conf(5)						     pbuilder						      pbuilder-uml.conf(5)

NAME

       pbuilder-uml.conf - configuration file for user-mode-linux port of pbuilder

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/pbuilder/pbuilder-uml.conf contains default values used in pbuilder-user-mode-linux program invocation.

FORMAT

       MY_ETH0=tuntap,,,192.168.0.2
	      Configures ethernet setting used for booting linux.  See how rootstrap boots your system, and copy that.

	      Specify --eth0=slirp,12345,/usr/bin/slirp-fullbolt to use the slirp connection.

       UML_IP=192.168.0.3
	      IP address to use for guest OS.

	      This can be set to dhcp for obtaining IP address through DHCP.

       UML_NETMASK=255.255.255.0
	      Guest OS netmask

       UML_NETWORK=192.168.0.0
	      Guest OS network

       UML_BROADCAST=255.255.255.255
	      Guest OS broadcast

       UML_GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
	      Guest OS gateway

       PBUILDER_UML_IMAGE=${HOME}/uml-image
	      Guest OS file system image.

       UML_MOUNT_TMPFS=no
	      Whether to mount tmpfs inside the guest image.  This is probably mostly useless.

       BUILDPLACE=${HOME}/tmp/
	      The  location  which build will take place.  pbuilder-user-mode-linux will place temporary COW files to there.  The user running UML
	      needs to be able to access that directory.

       UML_MEM=128
	      The amount of memory allowed for UML.  Give more value to here.

       UML_HOSTNAME=uml-host
	      The hostname for the UML.

	      The hostname should be available in /etc/hosts so that hostname -f will be able to return the FQDN.

       UML_BUILDRESULT=/directory/of/build/result
	      The directory where build result of pbuilder-user-mode-linux is stored.

       ROOTSTRAP_IMAGESIZE=size-in-megabytes
	      The size, in MB, of the disk iamge to create. Defaults to 1000.

NOTES

       It is advised to set APTCACHEHARDLINK to no in ~/.pbuilderrc.  see pbuilderrc(5) for details.
