Installing IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool
In this blog I'm going to cover installing ICCT (IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool) also know as ICON, now I know there is lots out there on installing this tool. As per usual I have trouble finding it, so into my developerWorks blog it goes, and more so this one is driven around the install of AIX. Along with this I will be detailing a few things I do to make managing the system easier. First a little information about this tool - ICCT is part of the IBM Virtual Appliance Factory tools. ICCT implements a consistent... [More]

How to Export and then Import a OVA for POWER
So far he best method that I have found to move images about between systems is to use the ICCT server as the staging for the OVA file, coping that data there first before you move it to your other environments. First ensure that the ICCT/Staging server has sufficient space to store the image as the export job will unzip the raw disk image from the V7000 storage. So if your disk is 25Gb you will need 25G (+/-1 or 2G) to stage the raw disk before it creates the ova that you can import. In my case our server has a 100G disk that... [More]

POWER Flex Deployment - Allocation of Storage failed
As you may know, the Flex system uses a number of IBM products to enable the dynamic deployment of servers to make system builds easier. In our case it uses POWER nodes running AIX, the FSM and VMControl/V7000 Storage, which talks to TPC. We have experienced a issue that you couldn't deploy servers via this system and all the problems seem to point to a issue with TPC. So I did some testing of my own to try and trace what the issue was related too, and from this I was able to reproduce a failure of deployment via SCE. This is the message -... [More]
