RE: LPARing an 810......

 
You will find it much easier to configure your new partition so that the
DASD IOA is on a dedicated IOP along with your other resources.
The quick answer is YES you need to have your DASD isolated per
partition (NOT shareable).

Get you BP involved.  They should cover all the minimum requirements and
build you a config. that is cost effective.  We run a lot of LPAR
systems (870, 570, 825, 810(3)).  One of our larger 810s is supporting 4
partitions.

The real expense in setting up LPAR is the hardware.  You need 
addional disk, disk controllers, console connection, LAN card 
(optional really

Does the LPAR always require new disk controllers and DASD, or could it
conceivably use the same hardware as the controlling LPAR?  Our DASD
utilization is so low that we could get by with what we have, or at most
one extra hard drive. 

Thanks for the info, btw.  It's exactly what I needed.
