This document describes the step by step procedure to create a new LPAR with dedicated
resources like processor, memory and I/O.
To create a new logical partition, you have to login into HCM either locally or remotely
using WebSM.
Type the hostname of HMC that you want to connect to and click on Log on tab.
In this example we are logging into adcaphmc01 to create a new logical partition.
WebSM client then communicates with WebSM server services on HMC and prompts for
user name and password. Enter the username and password for HMC and click on Log on
tab.
A successful authentication allows you to access the HCM GUI as shown below.
Before creating any new LPAR, one should plan thoroughly for the resource allocation.
An agreement should be made on the minimum, desired and maximum value of
processors & memory, shared or dedicated processors and type and number of I/O cards.
In the example to follow, we are creating a new LPAR adcapsap03-HRNEW with
following resources
The following wizard screen prompts for the minimum, desired and maximum value
of memory.
As mentioned in step 2, we select the values of minimum, desired and maximum
memory as 4GB, 8GB and 10 GB respectively.
Click on Next
For production servers we would be assigning dedicated processors for the LPAR.
I this example we are creating LPAR for a SAP development server, so we select Shared
mode and click on next.
The following wizard screen prompts for I/O pools. Since we are not using any shared
I/O pool, so ignore this screen .
Click on Next
The following wizard screen prompts for the Virtual I/O Adapters.
We are not making any use of Virtual I/O devices in this example.
Select No and Click on Next
The following screen prompts for the power controlling partition. For the all the LPARS
that we have defined, the default partition 83-8C6DB(1) is acting as the power
controlling partition.
Ensure that the default partition 83-8C6DB(1) is displayed in the drop down list and click
Next.
The following wizard screen is a summary Screen. If you want to make any changes on
previous screens, the you can use previous tab to scroll back and make changes if any.
If you are sure of your selections, the click on Finish tab and this would create the new
LPAR.
You can see that the new LPAR adcapsap03-HRNEW under managed system
thames-p590-01.
You can recheck the resource allocation by right clicking the profile and selecting
properties.
This end the procedure to create a new LPAR using dedicated resources.
