I use the term hosting partition to be the partition that is hosting the other partitions. I use the term hosted partition as the guest partition. I think you confused him when you used the term "host" is that the one who hosts the partition or the one that is being hosted. Therefore, I always say hosting partition, and use the term hosted or quest partition interchangeably.
But that is just how I teach my sessions, I am a techy not an English major.

"hosted by i" is confusing you. I am going to go out on a limb here and say it doesn't apply to you. With Power 6 and above and i6.1 and above you can have hosted and guested partitions. One "host" partition can support a number of "guest" partitions. The "host" partition(s) will have entries in WRKNWSSTG. For example our MAIL3 partition hosts GDI and GDWEB3. On MAIL3 WRKNWSSTG shows
Name Size
GDISTG01 250003
GDISTG02 100006
GDWEB301 300002
This roughly matches GDI's WRKDSKSTS
Size
Unit Type (M)
1 6B22 233020
2 6B22 93212
and GDWEB3's WRKDSKSTS
Size
Unit Type (M)
1 6B22 279622
These three entries are carved out of the WRKDSKSTS and WRKSYSSTS on MAIL3. They also appear on MAIL3 in wrklnk '/QFPNWSSTG/*' so they would appear as User Directories on the PRTDSKINF report.
Given this, I don't think you are doing hosting and guesting. I am guessing that you have 36 disk drives, 12 for each lpar.
Think of guesting like the old FSIOP, IPCS, IXS card that allowed you to carve out a chunk of disk to allocate to a Windows PC on a card on AS400's.

I'm not a hardware guy by any means but this is what I see (snips from
wrksyssts from each partition, TCLINIC2, TCLINIC, DOMINO) - notice the
System ASP & Total values are identical on each.

"So do you have 36 physical disks - twelve on each partition of i, and one
i partition is running Domino?"
That's a good question.
Wrkdsksts shows 12 units all of the same type and size on all three
partitions - the only difference bing the percent used.
I guess getting into SST is the next step.
