Hi Judy!
If you do not want to keep the information of actual LPAR-s, your way is simple:
Deactivate all LPARs, using shutdown command, or just right-click/deactivate on HMC.
Now you will have the "Full system partition" changed from "unavailable" to "available". You can simply activate it.
If not, you should back up your current HMC config, then delete all partitions.
Even though, do you have any reason not to use DLPAR functionality? Even with only one DLPAR using all te resources, but having the ability to crop dovn some of it and run another OS image, for test reasons or anything else. Doing it without even shutting down your main LPAR.

Hi Judy, again!
I have to confess, I was wrong in my previous post.
To activate "Full system partition" on yout machine, you have to right-click on in in HMC server management page and select "Power off".
When it is done, delect "Power on", and you will get a window asking the power-on mode. Choose "full system partition" and that's all.
So you do not have to delete your partitions to start the machine as full system partition!
