Creating a new LPAR using the HMC interface
To get some experience using the HMC interface, the following steps will guide you through
the steps to define a new LPAR.
One of the powerful resources in a consolidated server environment is the ability to carve out
a new LPAR in the environment to accomplish a task such as a test server to evaluate a new
OS install with out affecting other software, or maybe to build a new license server, etc.
With Virtualization it is possible to create an LPAR that uses a small amount of Memory and
CPU in order to create an LPAR that can be used to build and test.
First you will need to switch to the HMC management interface. The HMC interface is a
web based management interface. You can either switch to the HMC console on the screen
by hitting <Shift – PrtScrn> and selecting the hmc option, or from the Web User interface
screen select the Home button to get back to the Main Menu Then select the “Access HMC
HERE link to open a web browser on the HMC.
