Hi Tom,
how about CRTNWSD and CRTNWSSTG?

Consider the CPU / RAM Ressources - if your single LPAR is configured to „use all ressources“ you need to change the profile.
Ok - you need to change that profile at all as you need to create virtual SCSI server.

OK, I've really been spinning my wheels on this and getting nowhere. Perhaps someone can point me to the definitive manual or Redbook to direct me.
I have a Power7 server with a single v7r1 partition that owns all hardware, managed by an HMC.
The disk drives are configured as physical disks.
I need to create a new partition to install v7r3 but can't figure out how to share the disk storage.
I think my problem is that the v7r1 partition has the physical drives defined as just that.
I think I've read that to now create virtual disks from those physical drives that can be shared between the partitions the content on the physical drives will be wiped out.
Someone please tell me there's another way.
