The most convenient way to configure a partitionable enterprise partition platform (PEPP) partition for participating in a given secure fabric is to associate the partition image with the secure fabric during commissioning. For more information, see Commissioning a Partition Image.

If you did not associate a partition image with a secure fabric during commissioning, and wish to associate a PEPP partition after the partition image has been commissioned, you will need to configure the PEPP partition so that it can participate in a given secure fabric. For more information, refer to Associating a PEPP Partition with a Secure Fabric After Commissioning.

If you wish to configure a nonpartitionable enterprise partition platform (NEPP) for participating in a given secure fabric, refer to Associating a NEPP with a Secure Fabric after installing and configuring a supported operating system on your NEPP (see Creating a Partition with a Customer-Supplied OS on a NEPP).
