RE: Partitioning a 525

["Pete Massiello" <pmassiello-ml@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jack,

	You really can't.  Because you would get all the other attributes of
the other machine (and partitions), when all you want is the one partition
inside the 0595.  If you go into the profile properties for the old
partition on the old machine, and copy down what adapters you are using (at
this point, make all the adapters are in that specific 0595 that you are
moving), which adapters are desired and which are required), what the tagged
I/O is, and see if you have any virtual adapters.  That is all you will need
when you build the new partition, because the amount of CPW and memory is
going to be what you can spare on this new machine.

Pete, could you export the sysplan for the 550 then import it to the new
525.  Not much was mentioned about what firmware is currently being used nor
the I5/OS vesion that is running today on the 550.
