I wish it were that simple.
Trying to have only a couple of boxes instead of 5 or 6
Less maintenance, support etc. etc.
Less room, less expense, the list goes on an on
If it were so simple there would be no market for having multiple partitions

Seems to me you should go to Partnerworld and lease a new box with a
current OS on it.
Not very expensive.

subject: Adding a partition to our 270
We currently have a 270 running a single partition although it is
capable of
having multiple partitions we never set it up to have more then one.
Nobody here has any experience in setting up multiple partitions.
A few questions:
1) Is this something anybody should be able to do simply using
information
readily available (i.e. midrange.com, Google, etc)
or is it something we should hire a consultant to do for us?
2) If we hired a consultant to do it, is this something that can be done
remotely or would the consultant need to come on site?
(Consultants - contact us offline)
3) How long should this task take a competent knowledgeable person to
do?
4) Is there a document anywhere that would give us information about
where
to start (Example: Preparing for multiple partitions or something like
that)?
5) Are there any "Gotchas" we should be aware of before moving from
single
partition to multiple partitions?
The main purpose for us setting up multiple partitions is to be able to
run
different OS versions on the same box, which I am assuming is possible
(but then again I don't know this for a fact)
Thanks in advance
