I think Linda mentioned trying diskless installs. Bruce replied, xCAT does not support deploying images into a WPAR. However, you say you are not able to create new LPARs as storage disks are full. Do you have enough other resources (i.e. memory, vlans) to create additional DISKLESS LPARs on your server? If so, then you can use xCAT to deploy diskless OS images to those LPARs.

Valletta 8-3/B10 Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (tie 293) 433-3102 From: V Balaji2 <[email protected]> To: [email protected], Date: 12/04/2013 01:47 AM Subject: [xcat-user] XCAT on AIX - Need help Dear XCAT Team, Our team is trying XCAT on IBM-AIX 7. We have gone through the documentation and have a doubt here in this step We have installed the XCAT management node software in an AIX LPAR (Logical Partition) . Usually, the XCAT management node installs cluster nodes over other free LPARs that are shown in HMC ( sHardware Management Console ). Currently, I cannot create LPAR on server as storage disks are full, is it feasible for XCAT to provision images over/on the existing LPAR, say in a WPAR (Workload Partition) ? Kindly go through the XCAT forum post , where it was clarified that its not possible to try with XCAT to install images on WPAR, within the same LPAR. We like to know, if there is any other possibility of using XCAT to provision virtual images over the existing LPAR.
