Validating a system profile

When you validate a system profile, the Hardware Management Console (HMC) compares the resources defined in the system profile with the resources available on the managed system. If the system profile requires more resources than are available on the managed system, a message is displayed on the HMC.

1. In the navigation pane, open Systems Management and click Servers.
2. In the work pane, select the managed system, click the Tasks button, and choose Configuration > Manage System Profiles.
3. Select the system profile and click Validate.
4. When validation is complete, click OK.
