At least i have more machines than you do ;)

We have two 8203-E4A (PROD, TEST), a 2 LPAR 9407-515 (DEV V5R4, DEV
V6R1), 9405-520 (Newer than V6R1) and two 9406-520 (Backlevel V5R3, QA
V5R4).

They're all managed by a single HMC. We don't have a backup HMC.

Together, they fill 3/4 of a single rack. Incidentially, we initially
wanted to buy an LPAR machines for the new PROD and TEST, but buying
two separate machines was cheaper than LPARing a larger machine
(considering everything - maintenance, license, purchase price).
