Use the Hardware Editor Computer Configurations page to create, copy, modify, and delete computer configurations in the hardware library.
Computer configuration icons indicate whether and how you can manipulate a configuration.
- A locked icon indicates that the computer configurations are
system-defined and cannot be deleted.
- An in-use icon indicates that you can modify the computer
configuration, but you cannot delete it until the configuration is
no longer in use by a capacity model. If you modify a configuration
that is in-use by a capacity model, the hardware configuration
change you make is applied to the corresponding item used in the
capacity model.
