Then how do you manage the system?

By "manage the system", are you asking about changing partition
configurations? If so, then I'd ask why change them? Why not live with how
they might be configured originally?

Say you want an IBM i partition and a Linux partition, and you don't
anticipate changing that.


Just because the partitions are called for on the configuration does not

create them, nor build them. Even the preload configuration option is
totally useless in most cases.

You might want to think that all the way through before you try it.

That is my reason for posing the question. If I understand correctly, the
answer is no. It appears that neither IBM, nor BPs will pre-configure
multiple partitions on new orders.
