Use these procedures to create logical partitions on your new or nonpartitioned server using the Hardware Management Console (HMC).
When you receive your server, the server is in what is known as the manufacturing default configuration. You can install an operating system on the server and use the server in a nonpartitioned configuration. However, if you want to create logical partitions on the managed system, you must develop a logical partition plan for the server, add hardware to the server or move the hardware within the server according to your logical partition plan, and validate the hardware on the server. When the server is ready, you can then create the logical partitions using the HMC.
The procedure used to create logical partitions on a new or nonpartitioned server varies by server type.
