Planning Your Virtual Partitions
Before you install vPars, you should have a plan of how you want to
create virtual partitions within your server.
Below is a possible partition plan based on the example rp7400 server:
The next few sections will describe how we arrived at each portion of the
partition plan.
NOTE When you create a partition, the vPars monitor assumes you will boot
and use the partition. Therefore, even if a partition is down, the
resources assigned to the partition cannot be used by any other partition.
