I have an 8203-E4A with one disk controller and 20 drives, 10 in each of
the external disk drawers. Currently 100% of the hardware is dedicated
to the only partition with exception of the processor. We have 2.00
units and only are licensed for 1.00 so that is all the partition is
using. I am thinking of creating a new partition on this system. I
will need to add memory but I have more disk arms than I need and we
are at 35% of the storage space used. So I would like to use some of
the space across the pool of disk arms for the new partition.

Is this possible? What additional hardware will I need to partition
this box? Most likely I will need memory and Ethernet ports. Can I
share the disk controller and drives?
