Prerequisites for creating a logical partition by using a template

Review the prerequisites before you create a logical partition by using a template.

You can create an AIX®, IBM® i, or Linux logical partition by using any of the partition templates from the template library. The Create Partition from Template wizard guides you through the procedure of creating a logical partition.

The system must be in the running state before you create a logical partition from a template on that system. You cannot create a partition from a template when the system is in the powered-off state.

You can choose only one template or system at a time. The system that you chose to deploy to, or the template name that you chose from the template library is displayed on the screen.
