Use these instructions to enter the activation code using the Hardware Management Console (HMC)
version 7 or later.
If your system did not come with the Advanced POWER® Virtualization feature
enabled, you must use the HMC to
enter the activation code that you received when you ordered the feature.
This activation code also enables Micro-Partitioning™ on
the system.
To enter your activation code, follow these steps:
- In the Navigation area, expand Systems Management.
- Select Servers.
- In the Contents area, select the managed system on
which you plan to enable Advanced POWER Virtualization. For example, the system on which you plan to install the Virtual I/O Server or enable Micro-Partitioning.
- Click Tasks and select .
- Enter your activation code and click OK.
After you enter the activation code, you are ready to create the
Virtual I/O Server logical partition and
install the
Virtual I/O Server.
For instructions, see one of the following procedures:
- Deploying a system plan using HMC version
