RE: NWSSTG size ?

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

Sorry for the delay in responding.  I was out in Las Vegas at ibmi DevCon, and my PC died.

I think Jim and Larry best summarized it, that you need a minimum of 6 drives.  If you have more, no problem.  You don't want to have less. You can make these whatever size you want, but I would keep them close to IBM I sizes if possible.

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??
