Can VPM be used on system with HMC?

Hi,

I need to create a hosted partition on my Power7 server.
We have v7r3 and need a v7r1 partition that shares the tape library and optical drive.
Thought I might use Virtual Partition Manager to do it
but we use HMC to manage our several servers.
Does having an HMC preclude being able to use the VPM?
I tried starting it through STRSST and got the following...

Logical Partitioning Environment Not Supported
System:   S107603P
Virtual Partition Manager is not supported and this service
function cannot be started.  The system is in a state that
does not allow this operating system to partition the
server.  Refer to the Virtual Partition Manager documentation
for more information.

If  VPM is not an option, I'll have to look for that slideshow presentation where someone gives a step by step on how to do it with the HMC.
<<< I've got it here somewhere :::::: >>

Best Regards,

Thomas Garvey
