はじめに
2020/11 に リリースされた AIX 7.2 TL5 で、create_ova コマンドが追加されています。
今までは ova(OpenVirtualAppliance) イメージ・ファイルを作成するには PowerVC の管理下での取得実行が考えられましたが、このコマンドによってOS上のみでの取得が可能になります。
AIX adds a new command: create_ova. This new command creates an open virtual appliance (OVA) package. An OVA package is an archive file that can be deployed as a virtual machine. The create_ova command is used to create a single-volume raw disk image and to export contents of a raw disk image to a compatible OVA package format. The OVA package can be imported into any IBM Power Virtualization Center (PowerVC) environment that contains a supported storage device. You can also import the OVA package into any cloud service that supports the Open Virtualization Format (OVF) packaging standard. The imported OVA package can be deployed as a virtual machine.
ova イメージ・ファイルで、カスタムAIX サーバーから、IBM Cloud サービス Power Systems Virtual Server への移行を行うことが容易になりますね。
・PowerSystems Virtual Server ブート・イメージのインポート
https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/power-iaas?topic=power-iaas-importing-boot-image
「イメージ・ファイル名 (Image file name)」フィールドでサポートされる形式は、.ova、.ova.gz、.tar、.tar.gz および .tgz です。
検証実施はこちらの記事を参考にしています。
[Creating bootable AIX OVA images ]
(http://gibsonnet.net/blog/cgaix/html/create_ova_aix_blog.html)
For the above to work, I needed a mksysb image in a file system somewhere, a spare disk large enough to clone rootvg and enough free file system space for the image file, the ova file and free space for the gzip operation i.e. 20GB disk for alt_rootvg, 2-3GB for the mksysb image, approximately 60GB for the image file "work space". For a total of (around) 85GB of storage required for a 20GB image, that compresses down to a little over 1.2GB!
実行するためには別途ディスク容量を確保しておく必要がありますね。
検証シナリオ
AIX rootvg ボリューム・グループをターゲット・ディスク hdisk0 にエクスポートし、ボリューム・グループの内容を /ova ディレクトリー下に OVA パッケージにパックする。
参考：AIX のコマンドマニュアルにも、create_ova コマンド

-> rpm が導入されていますが、/opt 容量不足で失敗.....
コマンド実行にはpipe viewer(pv) が必要で、その前提が色々導入されました。
The create_ova tool requires the pipe viewer (pv) tool to be installed in order to function. If the tool is not installed, the first time you run create_ova, it will attempt to “yum install” it for you. If you don’t have access to a yum repos (either locally or via the internet), you could grab this tool and install it upfront.

まとめ
・AIX 7.2 TL5 の新しいコマンド create_ova で OS上で ova イメージ・ファイルを作成することが可能です。
・ディスク容量がそれなりに必要です。
・AIX ToolBox を使えるようにしておく、または必要なrpmを事前に導入しておく必要があります。
・コマンド・オプション を変更して mksysb ファイルを使う方法、ディスク・サイズを指定する方法などもあります。
** 追記 **
追加されるrpmについての情報を次の記事に記載しました。-> AIX create_ova コマンド使用時に導入されるrpm モジュール
以上です。
