Managing system profiles

You can manage the system profiles on your managed system using the Hardware Management Console (HMC). You can change the logical partitions and partition profiles specified within the system profiles as the logical partitions change on your managed system.

Copying a system profile
You can use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to create a copy of an existing system profile. After you create a copy of the existing system profile, you can change the partition profiles that are contained within the new system profile. This allows you to create multiple, nearly identical system profiles quickly and easily.
Changing a system profile
You can change which partition profiles are included in a system profile using the Hardware Management Console (HMC).
Validating a system profile
When you validate a system profile, the Hardware Management Console (HMC) compares the resources defined in the system profile with the resources available on the managed system. If the system profile requires more resources than are available on the managed system, a message is displayed on the HMC.
Deleting a system profile
You can delete a system profile using the Hardware Management Console (HMC). This allows you to remove system profiles that you no longer use.
