I know the answer will be "It depends.", but I figure I might as well ask anyway.
We're in the process of migrating Websphere workloads from AIX to zLinux and figure we will need to add additional IFLs and memory. But, rather than simply boosting the existing VM LPARs, we're wondering if it wouldn't be better to split them up into a few smaller LPARs instead. When I say large, I'm talking maybe a 300GB/15 IFL footprint for one of our VM LPARs. We'd split that into maybe 2 150GB or 3 100GB LPARs. We would also gain more operational freedom if we split the workloads correctly, so it's looking pretty good to us. But, we don't want to do it if there will be too much additional overhead in terms of resource usage.
