On the HMC, LPAR functions for a logical partition can be accessed in two main ways.
Throughout this chapter, the menu will be referred to as the LPAR functions menu.
Pop up menu
In the navigation area, select the managed system and drill down as follows:
Server and Partition → Server Management
The Server and Partition: Server Management pane is displayed. Expand the Partitions
folder, select the desired partition, and right-click. The pop up menu that is displayed is shown
in Figure 6-1.

Selected menu bar item
Select the desired partition using the same method as in “Pop up menu” on page 178. Instead
of right-clicking the partition, from the menu bar, use the Selected menu item. The resulting
menu items are shown in Figure 6-2.
Attention: An HMC can manage multiple servers. Before performing an operation on a
logical partition, make sure that the correct server is selected.
