Creates a server pool.

Syntax

create ServerPool virtualIP=value clusterEnable= { yes | no } filesystem=value physicalDisk=value keymapName=value migrateUsingSsl= { yes | no } [startPolicy= { BEST_SERVER | CURRENT_SERVER }] name=value [description=value]

Description

This command creates a server pool.

Options

The following table shows the available options for this command.

Option	Description
`virtualIP=value`	The virtual IP address for the server pool.
`clusterEnable=` { `yes` \| `no` }	Whether to enable a clustered server pool. If this parameter is not included, the default is `no`, so the server pool is not clustered. If this parameter is set to `yes`, you must also include either the `filesystem` or `physicalDisk` option to provide a location for the server pool file system.
`filesystem=value`	The file system to use for the server pool file system.
`physicalDisk=value`	The physical disk to use for the server pool file system. Note You cannot create a server pool file system on a local physical disk as the server pool file system needs to be accessible by all servers in the server pool.
`keymapName=value`	The key mapping to be used when connecting to a virtual machine's console.
`migrateUsingSsl=` { `yes` \| `no` }	Whether to enable secure migration of virtual machines using SSL.
`startPolicy=` { `BEST_SERVER` \| `CURRENT_SERVER` }	The policy by which virtual machines are located when created in the server pool. If none is provided, the CURRENT_SERVER option is used by default.
`name=value`	A name to identify the server pool.
`description=value`	Optional description for the server pool.

Note

Any create command only creates a single instance of an object, and therefore only accepts a single object instance as an attribute. Providing more than one object of the same attribute type as a parameter always results in the last attribute value taking precedence.
