Copying a partition profile

You can create a copy of an existing partition profile using the Hardware Management Console (HMC). After you create a copy of the existing partition profile, you can change the resource allocations within the new partition profile. This allows you to create multiple, nearly identical partition profiles without having to re-enter all of the resource allocations repeatedly.

1. In the navigation pane, open Systems Management, open Servers, and click the name of the managed system.
2. In the work pane, select the logical partition whose partition profile you want to copy, click the Tasks button, and select Configuration > Manage Profiles.
3. Select the partition profile that you want to copy and click Actions > Copy.
4. Enter the name of the new partition profile into New profile name and click OK.
