• a boot disk (when using a mass storage unit, please check your hardware manual to verify that it can

support a boot disk)

Although not required for booting a virtual partition, you can add LAN card(s) as required for networking.

For your virtual partitions, use the number of CPUs, amount of memory, boot disk conﬁguration, and lan

cards as is appropriate for your OS and applications.

CPUs

For detailed information on CPU allocation, please read “CPU” on page 260.
