The first option on the left of the window shown on Figure E-6 on page 507 is Getting
Started. This option initiates the DPM wizard application on the HMC, which allows users to
define their partitions, and then associate processor and memory resources, network and
storage I/O, crypto adapters and accelerators to them.
From the Getting Started with DPM window, users can select the Partition option, which
opens the Create Partition wizard. The Create Partition wizard can also be accessed clicking
Next at the bottom of the window.
Figure E-7 on page 509 shows, on the left banner, the HMC create partition wizard steps
available to define and activate a partition. It contains the following steps:
1. Welcome: Initial window that contains basic information about the process.
2. Name: This window is used to provide a name and description for partition that is being
created.
3. Processors: The partition's processing resources are defined in this window.
4. Memory: This window is used to define partition's initial and maximum memory.
5. Network: This window is where users define the partition's network NICs resources.
6. Storage: Where storage connectivity Host Bus Adapters (HBA) are defined.
7. Accelerators: Partition resources such as zEDC can be added in this window.
8. Cryptos: A wizard window where users define their cryptographic resources
9. Boot: In this wizard window, you define the partition's operating system (OS) and that
system's source. The following are the options for a source to load an OS:
– FTP Server
– Storage Device (SAN)
– Network Server (PXE)
– Hardware Management Console removable media
– ISO image
10.Summary: This wizard window provides a view of all of the defined partition resources.
The final step after the partition creation process is to start it. After the partition is started
(Status: Active), the user can start the messages or the Integrated ASCII console interface to
operate it.
