Has anybody done this before? When I purchased my 6.1 machine in Nov I was
told this was only possible if you setup your primary HD correctly so VIOS
could control it appropriately. I hadn't much idea what the IBM rep was
talking about so I told him to just go with a "regular setup" without any
micro partitioning (which I didn't use that term back then because I didn't
know it was called that - or maybe he was referencing literal LPARS?)

Micro-Partitioning is when you use only tenths of a CPU. You can
partition 1 CPU machine, but then each partition only has 0.x CPUs. If
you have a large machine and can give each LPAR it's own CPUs, you
don't need micro partitioning.
