Duplicating a server complex instance

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:
  1. If it is not started already, start the Server Complexes task for the z/VM system you want to work with.
  2. Select the server complex you want to duplicate.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Click OK.
  6. 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.
註: If there is already an existing server complex with the desired name, an error message appears and the operation is cancelled.
註: Alternatively, you can right-click the server complex and choose Duplicate from the pop-up menu.
