Peter, It will really depend on the workload and other configuration aspects and what SLA requirements exist. You could start with the degree of over commit. From a memory perspective if you say 2 to 1 or 1.5 to 1, then you get 224G or 168G to your 112G real. It wasn't clear to me if you have 2 real IFL cores or something different. With three logical partitions at logical 2-ways, you'd be at 3:1 there, which is a little higher than I would recommend. The overcommit on virtual to logical processors doesn't have as clear a rule of thumb as memory. So it really depends. Others may be able to offer their experiences. ___________________________________________________________________________________________
