The Virtualization Cookbook for SLES 10 SP2 - z/VM - IBM

9.5 Defining three more virtual machines
So far you have installed Linux manually twice onto RH6CLONE and RH6GOLD. You have created
a new user ID LINUX01 and cloned to it. Now it is time to prepare for more cloning of each of
the virtual servers described in the remaining chapters.
The following steps are involved:
► “Defining three more user IDs” on page 157
► “Creating three new configuration files” on page 158
► “Adding new virtual machines to startup process” on page 159
► “Testing logging on to a new user ID” on page 160
9.5.1 Defining three more user IDs
Define three more user IDs for Linux virtual servers. Perform the following steps:
► Logon to MAINT.
► Edit the USER DIRECT file and create three new sections LINUX02 - LINUX04. You will need
to use the DASD volumes you just formatted: two for each virtual server. You can repeat
the definition of LINUX01 three times with the block copy ""3 prefix command. For example:
==> x user direct
====> /user linux01
...
""3 *
02142 USER LINUX01 LNX4VM 256M 1G G
02143 INCLUDE LNXDFLT
02144 OPTION APPLMON
02145 MDISK 100 3390 0001 3338 MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM
"" MDISK 101 3390 0001 3338 MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM
► This will create three more copies of the LINUX01 user definition. Modify them to have a
user ID of LINUX02 - LINUX04, and give each correct DASD labels:
USER LINUX02 LNX4VM 256M 1G G
INCLUDE LNXDFLT
OPTION APPLMON
MDISK 100 3390 0001 3338 UM63AA MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM
MDISK 101 3390 3339 3338 UM63AA MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM
*
USER LINUX03 LNX4VM 256M 1G G
INCLUDE LNXDFLT
OPTION APPLMON
MDISK 100 3390 6677 3338 UM63AA MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM
MDISK 101 3390 0001 3338 UM63AB MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM
*
USER LINUX04 LNX4VM 256M 1G G
INCLUDE LNXDFLT
OPTION APPLMON
MDISK 100 3390 3339 3338 UM63AB MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM
MDISK 101 3390 6677 3338 UM63AB MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM
*
► Go to the top of the file and find the definition for the user $ALLOC$. Add dummy definitions
for cylinder 0 of each of the new volumes and save the changes. In this example, two
volumes are added, UM63AA and UM63AB:
====> top
====> /alloc
