Re: AIX suggestions

I have two AIX guest lpars consuming disk from IBM i hosts.
Set up by our BP.
Yes, there is a strange variety of disk sizes they use. Rather
reminiscent of the way people used to partition Windows disk to a C: and a
D: drive with a small C: drive with just the OS on it.
I know where you're going with this but can't help you much more than
that.

I think AIX over Linux is a good choice as many of the drivers come with
AIX and with Linux you end up spending a day downloading the drivers. We
had a consultant set up TSM on Linux years ago, one week after doing the
same thing for a fellow local user group member who had them do the same
thing on AIX. We ended up being billed an extra day. The cost of AIX is
chump change compared to that.
When we did our reload we went to AIX.
