Use this page to perform the following tasks:
An I/O pool is a group of I/O adapters that can be taken over and used by any of a specified group of logical partitions without the active intervention of the Hardware Management Console (HMC).
If you add an I/O device to a partition profile, and the I/O device belongs to an I/O pool, then this wizard automatically adds the I/O pool to the partition profile. You cannot remove the I/O pool from the partition profile unless you remove the I/O device from the I/O pool or you remove the I/O device from the partition profile.
When you activate the logical partition that is associated with this partition profile, the managed system automatically adds the I/O pools contained in the partition profile to the logical partition.
