RE: IMPL of P0 partition

[Darrell A Martin <DMartin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bruce:

We are moving from a Model 720 (no LPAR setup) to a 4-LPAR i520. It's not 
actually an upgrade. At the moment, bringing the entire i520 rack down 
would not be a problem; nothing is running live on it. I am looking to the 
future.
