Hi,
I want to know wheather partition size for installation of vio client can be specified on vio server
example
If I am installing vio server on blade with 2*300gb hard disk,after that I want to create 2 vio client (AIX Operating system) wheather I can specify hard disk size while creating vio client.
you have a few options here depending on your environment.
in the ivm, under view/modify virtual storage, you can create virtual disks to be used for the aix lpars. the downside to this option is that you may get i/o contention from the vios and aix lpar sharing the same disk.
a better option (requiring a san) would be to assign a separate lun for the vios and aix lpar. this allows for easy recovery should you lose the vios and want to migrate the aix lpar to another vios.
