Jim, what would be the standard size number.

I really appreciate the feedback, but what happens when I add drives, I am
hoping to conform to the 6 drive approach if it serves the best purpose
which I am not doubting. I am trying to understand the (what do I do) now
that I have added drives. Let me guess, I need to save the workload, break
the storage spaces and recreate them to evenly match out to 6, then reload
what I saved??

Answer Yes you would. Although I would modify the 6 drives to a
standard size that IBM i uses rather than 83GB.

We've had the discussion about why you use multiple drives ad nauseam
before. And yes, I think Pete has set up more hosted environments than
anyone I know.

Pete, so if I am going to have 500GB defined and I divide it by 6 so I
would then have 6 (83GB) storage spaces, so what happens when I add disk
drives and need more storage spaces at that point. If I am going to
have a
system with 14 LPAR(s) and each lpar is to have 500 GB of disk then I
will
have 84 network storage spaces??

You guys better stop doubting Pete on this stuff - he's probably
set up
half of these hosted partitions and he doesn't do things without
good
reason......
