50 DS8000 Series: Concepts and Architecture
Figure 3-3 DS8300 LPAR resource allocation
Each storage facility image has access to:
50 percent of the processors
50 percent of the processor memory
1 loop of the RIO-G interconnection
Up to 16 host adapters (4 I/O drawers with up to 4 host adapters)
Up to 320 disk drives (up to 96 TB of capacity)
3.2.3 Storage facility image hardware components
In this section we explain which hardware resources are required to build a storage facility
image.
The management of the resource allocation between LPARs on a pSeries is done via the
Storage Hardware Management Console (S-HMC). Because the DS8300 Model 9A2
provides a fixed split between the two storage facility images, there is no management or
configuration necessary via the S-HMC. The DS8300 comes pre-configured with all required
LPAR resources assigned to either storage facility image.
Figure 3-4 on page 51 shows the split of all available resources between the two storage
facility images. Each storage facility image has 50% of all available resources.
