Re: Installing a 520 for the first time

Let's see:
First HMC:
POWER5 9406-570 & 9406-520

Second HMC:
POWER5 p590, 2 x POWER5 550's, and 2 x POWER5 520's

Third HMC:
POWER5+ p595, 1 x POWER5+ p570, 1 x POWER6+ 570, 3 x POWER5 550's, 6 x
POWER5 520's
and the brand new POWER770 that's in the rack (today) and not yet powered
on, we're having power issues in the data center. Have to move a couple of
circuits first.

Do I win, or do we not have enough servers under one HMC? Didn't count the
LPAR's, but I'd say more than 50 but less than a hundred. Not even
counting the dozen POWER4's that are in the process of being replaced this
year (FINALLY)!

I manage multiple machines with one hmc.  A 9117-MMA, 8203-E4A and a
9408-M25 with a total of 12 lpars.

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).
