- With all of the "maybe"s and "there is a possibility"s, it sounds like
- you should be running VM/ESA on the bare metal (unpartitioned). Given
- identical configurations (all-dedicated everything, idential main
- store, identical ESTORE), the performance of a production guest under
- LPAR and under VM/ESA should be about the same (after all, VM and LPAR
- are both using the same machine facilities to do their job). VM gives
- you the option of running your test systems V=V, so that you don't tie
- up valuable system resources (core, channel paths) for partitions that
- you aren't using very much. Besides, it comes with CMS!
