AIX IVM LPAR Creation

When logged into the IVM installed on the VIOS you see the existing LPARs in the right panel. One is always there, the VIOS itself. If you want to create a new LPAR click on the “Create Partition” button right above the existing LPARs. This will start a wizard which gives you the opportunity to create a LPAR:

Assign shared or physical processors.
