  • 1.  Requirement for AIX 6.1

    Guys,

    I'm trying to get a rough estimate for the storage requirement of a standard AIX installation . We're planing for a SAN boot for the servers and I would like to know the average disk requirement for an LPAR.

    I do understand that each partition will require respective paging space based on the real memory availability. I would like to know about the usage for other LVs. I have had no prior experience with SAN booting, and I do not have a sovereign system to get this info; therefore, any information (even df outputs of servers) will be highly appreciated.

    Thanking,
    Kosala

    Look at your typical, non-SAN boot AIX installation and use that as a guide. It really doesn't take much at all to install AIX (you could do it with 10G) but the things that do take space are how large you normally make /var,/tmp and how much swap you need. There are no additional space requirements that I've seen when doing SAN boot as compared to non-SAN.
