The left side of this window displays the I/O drawers available and configured for use. To expand the I/O tree to show the individual slots in each drawer, click the icon next to each drawer. Because the HMC groups some slots, if you attempt to assign a member of one of these "grouped" slots to a profile, the entire group is automatically assigned. Groups are indicated by a special icon named Group_XXX. Click on the slot for details about the adapter installed in that slot. When you select a slot, the field underneath the I/O drawer tree lists the slot's class code and physical location code. Note: The slots in the I/O Drawers field are not listed in sequential order. Select the slot you want to assign to this default affinity profile and click Add.If you want to add another slot, repeat this process. Slots are added individually to the profile; you can only add slots one at a time, unless they are grouped. Minimally, add a boot device to the required list box. If you want to install an operating system on this partition using the managed system's CD-ROM drive, assign the CD-ROM to this partition profile. Perform these steps for each ALPAR tab shown at the top of the screen. If you want to change the configuration for any affinity partition, click Back. Otherwise, click Finish to create the group of affinity partitions.
