You can create a system profile using the Hardware Management Console (HMC). A system profile is
an ordered list of partition profiles. When you activate a system
profile, the managed system attempts to activate the partition profiles
in the system profile in the order in which the partition profiles
are listed.
System profiles are also useful for validating your partition
profiles to ensure that you have not overcommitted the resources on
your managed system.
Restriction: You
cannot create system profiles that contain logical partitions that
use shared memory.
To create a system profile using the HMC, follow these steps:
- In the navigation pane, open Systems Management and
click Servers.
- In the work pane, select the managed system, click the Tasks button,
and click .
- Click .
- Enter the name of the new system profile into System
profile name.
- For each partition profile that you want to add to the
system profile, open the logical partition to which the partition
profile belongs, select the partition profile, and click Add.
- Click OK.
