Why keep them close to physical disk size?

Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx Sorry for the delay in responding. I was out in Las Vegas at ibmi DevCon, and my PC died. I think Jim and Larry best summarized it, that you need a minimum of 6 drives. If you have more, no problem. You don't want to have less. You can make these whatever size you want, but I would keep them close to IBM I sizes if possible.

Pete, so if I am going to have 500GB defined and I divide it by 6 so I would then have 6 (83GB) storage spaces, so what happens when I add disk drives and need more storage spaces at that point. If I am going to have a system with 14 LPAR(s) and each lpar is to have 500 GB of disk then I will have 84 network storage spaces??
