I have a server that had 2 VIO partitions setup on it for testing. Mgmt now wants to use this server for production and to have 1 partition that aquires all available resources. I did a backup of the HMC. I then shutdown the 2 VIO partitions and deleted them to free up all the resources. I now need help to create a new AIX LPAR (not vio). I have not done one in the past. I see on my HMC the server status is "operating". I tried to right click on the "Partitions" and Create Logical Partition. I put in a partition name and selected "AIX or Linux" for my environment. I get to the "Profile Name" screen and not sure what to put here. I then assume I click on the box at the bottom of this screen to "Use all the resources in the system". Can anyone validate I am on the right path or point me in creating this 1 LPAR?
Thanks in advance!

What you want to do is run "single image" mode. There should already be a partition defined on your system with those attributes. The server ships with it by default.

Can you tell me how to run "single image". Is this an option on the HMC? Right now I have the Server showing as OPERATING. Below that I have an entry for "Partitions" with no partitions setup. Then below that I have "System Profiles" and that is it. Any direction would be appreciated.

You can follow what you found creating a partition selecting "Use all the resources in the system" option.

It will create a "full system partition" and will achieve what your boss requested.
