Managing classic virtual system patterns
You can manage classic virtual system patterns in the product.
Before you begin
Review the predefined classic virtual system patterns provided with Cloud Pak System Software for Power®, and refer to IBM® Fix Central and IBM Passport Advantage® for additional information about patterns that are available for use with Cloud Pak System Software for Power. You can then determine whether an existing classic virtual system pattern is suitable to your environment, or if you need to create a new pattern, or create a clone of an existing pattern and customize it to meet your needs.
About this task
You can use the classic virtual system patterns provided by Cloud Pak System Software for Power without modification and deploy them to the cloud. You can also create new patterns, or make a copy (clone) of an existing pattern, and use the Pattern Editor to modify the pattern to alter the topology and configuration of your environments.
In a single classic virtual system pattern, you can include parts from multiple images, as well as script packages and other add-ons in the classic virtual system pattern, and perform additional configuration tasks on these items as well.
