2.cd /etc/cmcluster/<vm/vPar_name>.

3.Create VM or vPar package. Run the following command:

•To create a VM package, run the following command: cmmakepkg –m tkit/vtn/vtn –n <vm_name> pkg.conf

<vm_name> is the name of the VM package. VM name and the package name must be the same.

•To create a vPar package, run the following command:

cmmakepkg –m tkit/vtn/vpar –n <vpar_name> pkg.conf
