[--help]

mkcodpool creates a Capacity on Demand (CoD) Power enterprise pool.

-p	Specify a name for the Power enterprise pool to be created.
-f	Specify the name of the XML file that contains the Power enterprise pool configuration data. If file is not fully qualified, file must exist in the user’s home directory on the management console. If file exists on removable media, the media must be present in the removable media device and the device must be mounted with the mount command before this command is issued. The lsmediadev command can be used to display all of the removable media devices on the management console.
-v	Specify this option to enable verbose mode. When verbose mode is enabled, warning messages and informational messages are displayed for successful create pool operations. Warning messages and informational messages are displayed for create pool operations that partially succeed or fail, regardless of whether this option is specified.
--help	Display the help text for this command and exit.

This command has the following return codes:

0	Success
100	Partial success This value is returned when at least one operation in the configuration file succeeded, and at least one failed.

Any other value means the command failed.

Create the Power enterprise pool pool1 using the configuration file pool0195.xml on a USB flash memory device (the USB flash memory device must already be connected to the management console):

lsmediadev (to obtain mount points)

mount /media/sdb1

mkcodpool -p pool1 -f /media/sdb1/pool0195.xml -v

Create the Power enterprise pool myPool using the configuration file pool.xml in the user’s home directory on the management console:
