Has anybody done this before? ÂWhen 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. ÂI 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?)

Wait wait! You're mixing up stuff.

Micro-Partitioning is when using only a percentage of a full CPU,
which can be done in 1 tenths of a CPU.

What you may be talking about is hosting partitions beneath VIOS.
Currently, this is only needed when attaching certain SANs or when
using a Blade. There may be other multipathing scenarios in which this
is needed, but i don't know enough about that.

Another thing you might mean are Guested LPARs - running an LPAR
within the resources of a Parent LPAR - this reduces the amount of
disk controllers you need.
