6. Create partitions using templates, if you logged in to the HMC by using the Enhanced or HMC
Enhanced+ login option.
v If you are creating new partitions, you can use the templates that are on your HMC. For more
information, see Accessing the template library (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/
POWER8/p8efc/p8efc_accessing_template_library.htm).
v If you have existing partitions on another system, you can capture those configurations, save it to
the template library and deploy the partition template. For more information, see Partition
templates (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER8/p8efc/
p8efc_partition_template_concept.htm).
v If you want to use an existing template from another source, you can import that and use it. For
more information, see Importing a partition template (http://www.ibm.com/support/
knowledgecenter/POWER8/p8efc/p8efc_import_partition_template.htm).
If you are using system plans or you did not log in to the HMC by using the HMC Enhanced or
HMC Enhanced+ login option, you can create partitions or deploy system plans.
v For instructions about creating partitions, see Partitioning with the HMC (http://www.ibm.com/
support/knowledgecenter/POWER8/p8hat/p8hat_lparwithhmcp6.htm).
v For instructions about deploying system plans, see Deploying a system plan by using an HMC
(http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/8286-41A/p8hc6/p8hc6_deploysysplanp6.htm).
7. Install an operating system and update the operating system.
