3 Planning nPartitions This chapter describes how you can plan nPartition configurations. Details include the nPartition configuration requirements and recommendations. For procedures to create and configure nPartitions, see Chapter 6 (page 165). nPartition Hardware Requirements for Operating Systems Table 3-1 lists the hardware requirements for operating systems running on nPartitions.
