LPAR Windows 2003 server

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Is there a real advantage of LPAR Windows 2003 versus the xSeries card in 
the iSeries?

'Theoretically', the hardware should be more reliable.  (Please, no debate 
on that.  If that is your point, a simple 'hardware reliability' will 
suffice.)  However you're already using (formerly) IBM disk.

I wonder how many levels of OS, cume's etc. it would take to make it as 
reliable as just running it on the xSeries card?

I got the impression from him a year ago that it might be sooner than 
that.
He said that IBM was ready to go, but M$ was a year behind schedule.
