    Hi,

    We need a HMC to create an LPAR and LPAR cannot be created without the HMC but in our server we have just reinstalled the OS freshly and when we issue the uname -L command the output is :
    LPAR Info: 1 06-5ECDG.Does this mean an LPAR is created?We dont have a HMC .Can an LPAR be created without the HMC.If yes what are the steps to be followed?
    If HMC is mandatory what are the prerequisites for the HMC.We are testing this in a lab environment.We have a P5 server with 5.3 ML 6 installed.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thnks

    Installing the OS and creating LPARs are independent tasks. You use an HMC to portion physical resources to an LPAR. If you boot the hardware it will come up either running in full system partition mode or with a default LPAR, but you'll always be able to install the OS if you have enough physical resources.

    Looks to me like you've got the default LPAR which may or may not be using all the resources in the box.

    I've never had the pleasure of trying to use p5 servers without an HMC so I can't comment on anything else.
