Re: Host and Guest IBM i Partitions

[Jack Kingsley <iseriesflorida@xxxxxxxxx>]

Kirk, I don't think you can do it that way since without the hosting
partition you couldn't have the storage spaces to create a guest.  The
storage spaces will be spread out amongst the disk arms based upon those
that you create.  To isolate SSD's and HD's probably a seperate raid set or
asp that when you add the storage space created NWSD you would pick where
to add it to based upon raid controller/asp set.  It might be possible to
create NWSD's within another NWSD I guess.
