I'd use the data from LSPR and figure out the percentage of total processing capability assigned to each of your current LPARs and create the weights from that. Then I'd adjust it as needed based upon the way things are running. As far as LPs for each LPAR, it depends. If all the LPARS peak at the same time, I'd assign as few as possible to provide the service needed. Remember that weights can be changed on the fly. If you plan it right, you can also add or remove LPs on the fly. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
