Helper Node Quickstart Install

This quickstart will get you up and running on PowerVM server managed using HMC.

To start, ssh to your HMC host to use the CLI. You can also use the HMC GUI. The steps in these guide are specific to CLI.

Create the LPAR (VM)

The following steps describe in brief the LPAR creation process on PowerVM using HMC.

QEMU Machine Protocol (QMP) socket

Start QEMU with QMP UNIX socket and connect:

qemu-system-x86_64 -qmp unix:test.socket,server,nowait ...
nc -U test.socket
qmp-shell test.socket    # use the raw qmp interface. see https://github.com/0xef53/qmp-shell
qmp-shell -H test.socket # use the human interface.   see https://github.com/0xef53/qmp-shell
