Re: Lpar, not enough space?

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

There's more to overhead than disk usage.  Like:
What communication resources, if any, will the other partition need?
What console requirements will the other partition need?
What backup media concerns will the other partition need?
Are you going to lpar on a system prior to i5?  If so, it is recommended 
that you set up a separate controlling partition.  An i5 uses something 
called the Flexible Service Processor, or FSP, instead.  A separate 
controlling partition on pre i5 systems plays it's own pacman with your 
hardware.

Lpar, not enough space?







Is there a rule-of-thumb for how much the overhead is for a Lpar? We have 
it seems like 25% space available on one of the IOP's on the 820.
