VIOS Hosted Partitions vs IBM i Hosted Partitions

There has been talk here lately on when you Host an IBM i Partition on top
of an IBM Partition you should create multiple storage spaces so the Guest
thinks it has lots of disk arms vs 1 single large storage space ( ie 1 disk
). I get that concept and the reasons behind it.

Now if I decide to use VIOS and not attach to a SAN, but use 32 139GB
internal disks, how does VIOS divide up the disk to the IBM i partitions on
top? Whole Disks? How is Protection, like Raid5 handled?

Thanks
