and planning” on page 45.
1. If you are not already connected to the HMC, sign in with an HMC user profile that has
either System Administrator or Advanced Operator authority. The capabilities of various
HMC roles are discussed in 7.3, “HMC User Management” on page 238.
2. From the Navigation Area on the left hand side of the HMC display, select the managed
host where the logical partition will be created and expand as follows:
Server and Partition → Server Management
After selecting Server Management, the right hand side pane is populated with logical
partition information. If any logical partitions were already created, they can be viewed by
expanding the Partitions folder. See Figure 5-1.
Figure 5-1 On the selected host, server management is selected
Attention: An HMC can manage multiple servers. Before creating a logical partition, make
sure that the correct server is selected.
