    IBM PowerVM hypervisor driver (phyp)

    + +

    + The IBM PowerVM driver can manage both HMC and IVM PowerVM + guests. VIOS connections are tunneled through HMC. +

    Connections to the PowerVM driver

    +

    + Some example remote connection URIs for the driver are: +

    +
    +phyp://user@hmc/system (HMC connection)
+phyp://user@ivm/system (IVM connection)
+
    +

    + Note: In contrast to other drivers, the + PowerVM (or phyp) driver is a client-side-only driver, + internally using ssh to connect to the specified hmc or ivm + server. Therefore, the remote transport + mechanism provided by the remote driver and libvirtd will + not work, and you cannot use URIs like + phyp+ssh://example.com. +

    + + +

    URI Format

    +

    + URIs have this general form ([...] marks an + optional part, {...|...} marks a mandatory choice). +

    +
    +phyp://[username@]{hmc|ivm}/managed_system
