RE: Installing a 520 for the first time

["Ingvaldson, Scott" <Scott.Ingvaldson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Just an FYI, Bill -

Per:
http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/firmware/readme?fixid=MH01205

"if the HMC manages more than 254 partitions, the HMC should have 3GB of
RAM minimum"   :-)

Let's see:
First HMC:
POWER5 9406-570 & 9406-520

Second HMC:
POWER5 p590, 2 x POWER5 550's, and 2 x POWER5 520's

Third HMC:
POWER5+ p595, 1 x POWER5+ p570, 1 x POWER6+ 570, 3 x POWER5 550's, 6 x
POWER5 520's
and the brand new POWER770 that's in the rack (today) and not yet
powered
on, we're having power issues in the data center.  Have to move a couple
of
circuits first.

Do I win, or do we not have enough servers under one HMC?  Didn't count
the
LPAR's, but I'd say more than 50 but less than a hundred.  Not even
counting the dozen POWER4's that are in the process of being replaced
this
year (FINALLY)!
