Re: The Future of the System i - the Domino theory

We have a bumblebee running 9 dpars on one lpar.  Other than getting 
maxxed out on disk it's not bad.  And domino clustering is so cool!  We 
test a switchover nightly.  Trust me, much easier than your standard i5 HA 
solution.

One production lpar on our 570 is running 11 dpars on one lpar.  That same 
lpar is also running all of our BPCS, payroll, accounting, EDI, etc.  And 
nine IXS cards.

You DO want to size it right.  One rule of thumb is 1gb of memory for 
every Domino server.  We have them all in pool 2.  Can you tell?
Startup is where you notice it most.
