Mark,

Please understand this is not a flame but from your comments you understand the theory behind LPAR but not the reality. Those of us doing LPAR would like to be able to do some of the things you suggest and perhaps in the future some of them may appear. But for now you must get the rules right, all of them, or you *WILL* be missing critical pieces. Trust me on that. You cannot create a partition without the minimum requirements. I strongly recommend that if you are doing only one, you select a partner that knows the ropes. They can show you how it was done, train you in the day-to-day stuff and be available for future enhancements.

If all of those things you mentioned need to be done, then I would definitely go the BP route. What I was getting at, is that I do not think I have any special hardware requirements, unless I cannot share the CD drive easily between the partitions. I do not care about having backup for both partitions. I just want to be able to do something like create a second partition and tell it to use xx GB of DASD, xx MB of RAM and xx% of CPU.

Do I have to dedicate disk by partition? I was assuming I could just draw from a common pool of disks?

Thanks, it sounds like we will go with a BP. We already have a list of local BP's with experience at LPAR configs.
