p570 Capabilities

Hi there.

I've been tasked with making a new design for our Unix systems :eek:

Now the question I have is;

How many LPARs can a p570 hold WITHOUT using a VIO Server.

Many Thanks

Kees

It depend on how many how many disk and ethernet adapters you have in your system. this depend on how many CEC's and/or io-drawers you have.
one CEC can have 2 internal disk bays connecting to 2 scsi adapters. so if you only have one cec and no external disk's you can create 2 LPAR's
