6. Create partitions using templates.
• 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/
POWER10/p10efc/p10efc_accessing_template_library.htm).
• If you have existing partitions on another system, you can capture those congurations,
save it to the template library and deploy the partition template. For more
information, see Partition templates (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER10/
p10efc/p10efc_partition_template_concept.htm).
• 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/
POWER10/p10efc/p10efc_import_partition_template.htm).
7. Install an operating system and update the operating system.
• Install the AIX operating system. For instructions, see Installing AIX (http://www.ibm.com/support/
knowledgecenter/POWER10/p10hdx/p10hdx_installaix.htm).
• Install the Linux operating system. For instructions, see Installing Linux (http://www.ibm.com/
support/knowledgecenter/POWER10/p10hdx/p10hdx_installlinux.htm).
