12 Hardware Management Console (HMC) Case Configuration Study for LPAR Management
Figure 4 Initial configuration
Table 5 shows our configuration in detail. Our test system has only one 4-pack
DASD available. Therefore we installed a VIO server to have sufficient disks
available for our partitions.
Table 5 CPU and memory allocation table
It is recommended to dedicate a processor when optimal performance is
required for the VIO server. However, in this section we use a shared processor
to configure our VIO to make the best use of the resources on our test system as
shown in Table 6 on page 13.
