Re: Virtual disks for an i partition



I don't know where I was thinking that 35GB was the minimum size for a
load source. From what I've read it is still currently 17GB. Probably
based on that Power 7's implication that 35GB is the minimum. But I'm
hearing that 35GB may be required in the next release.

Looks like your iDevCloud users may need to double disk if they're running
at minimum of 6 drives? But that's a good year off, I reckon.

Yeah, if I had the opportunity to unload/reload three of my guested lpars
I'd spread them out more. The one guested lpar that is nicely spread out
is going to go to dedicated disk when we upgrade to P7+. We just had a
yank on to get that lpar cranking without disrupting the other lpars
before scheduled downtime.
