When you duplicate a server complex instance, you create a new
unpopulated server complex instance with the same property values, apart from
the name.
Complete the following
steps to duplicate
a server complex:
- If it is not started already, start the Server Complexes
task for the z/VM system you want to work with.
- Select the server complex you want to duplicate.
- From the Action menu, choose Duplicate to open the
Duplicate Server Complex window. This window is similar to the New Server
Complex window, except that the names and number of tiers cannot be changed.
- In the Server complex name field, type a unique name with
up to ten alphanumeric characters. Do not use non-alphanumeric
characters such as *, &, $, etc.
- Click OK.
- The Progress Indication window shows the progress of the
action. If there is an inconsistency, you are given a choice whether to proceed
or stop. Stopping saves the new properties but doesn't apply the configuration.
After the operation is completed, click Close to close the Progress
Indication window.
The new duplicated server complex is created and displayed (with empty
tiers) on the Server Complexes pane to the right of the z/VM Server Complexes
window.
Note: If there is already an existing server complex with the desired
name, an error message appears and the operation is cancelled.
Note: Alternatively,
you can right-click the server complex and choose Duplicate from the
pop-up menu.
