We host some guest partitions because it reduces the cost of hardware. You
don't have to have a separate disk controller for each lpar. Part of me
has to wonder if 12 disk arms shared between the host and two guests would
be a better performer then 3 dedicated lpars with only 4 arms each. Ok, a
separate disk controller for each could blow that away though.
I consider this a good enough reason to host. Are there others? Well,
perhaps VIOS san support?
Let's take it to the extreme. Now we have a very large guest, over a
couple of TB. We did it this way because we wanted to do it "now" and
couldn't add another disk controller. The boss is saying when we get our
new hardware (which I think will be postponed quite some time due to the
business numbers I saw yesterday), that we will make that a dedicated
lpar.
