Re: WWBD - One large VM LPAR or multiple smaller ones?

[Oops...meant this to go to the VM list instead...] I know the answer will be "It depends.", but I figure I might as well ask anyway. We're in the process of migrating Websphere workloads from AIX to zLinux and figure we will need to add additional IFLs and memory. But, rather than simply boost
