Copying a partition profile

You can create a copy of an existing partition profile using the Hardware Management Console (HMC). After you create a copy of the existing partition profile, you can change the resource allocations within the new partition profile. This allows you to create multiple, nearly identical partition profiles without having to re-enter all of the resource allocations repeatedly.
