Create VM cluster(s)
Create VM cluster(s) in the target infrastructure using the specified source VM cluster(s) details.
Ensure that the target infrastructure is in an available state, and that the input template for VM cluster(s) has been generated and modified according to the target platform requirements.
The create_vmcluster command supports the following options:
Syntax
exacloudmigration create_vmcluster [-ahV] -i <inputFile> [-a|-l <vmClusterNames>] [--dry-run]Table 2-12 exacloudmigration create_vmcluster Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
-a, --all |
Creates VM clusters in the target environment for all VM clusters in the source. |
-i, --inputFile |
Specifies the VM cluster input file name with the complete path. |
-l, --vmClusterNames |
Specifies a comma-delimited list of source VM cluster names to create.
Examples:
|
--dry-run |
Performs dry run without creating the VM cluster(s). |
-h, --help |
Displays help information about the command and its options. |
-V, --version |
Displays the version of the utility. |
Examples:
- To validate the VM clusters input template file and perform a
--dry-run:/home/opc>./exacloudmigration create_vmcluster -a -i inputs/infra_phxref/cloudvmcluster_inputs --dry-run - To validate comma-delimited list of VM clusters input template file and perform a
--dry-run:/home/opc>./exacloudmigration create_vmcluster -a -i inputs/infra_phxref/cloudvmcluster_inputs -l vmcluster1,vmcluster2 --dry-run - To create VM clusters in the target environment corresponding to all VM clusters in the source, following successful validation and dry run:
/home/opc>./exacloudmigration create_vmcluster -a -i inputs/infra_phxref/cloudvmcluster_inputs - To create a comma-delimited list of source VM clusters in the target, following successful validation and dry run:
/home/opc>./exacloudmigration create_vmcluster -i inputs/infra_phxref/cloudvmcluster_inputs -l vmcluster1,vmcluster2
Note:
- Creation of a single VM cluster in the target environment takes approximately 6 hours.
- For ExaDB-D and ExaDB-C@C, multiple VM clusters are created in parallel.
- When creating the VM cluster, associated metadata including free-form tags, SSH keys, and other configuration details are also replicated to the target environment.
