lpar and advanced virtualization question.

dear aix meisters,

suppose for a moment I got the money to buy a new shining ibm system p5 or eserver p5 with several processors, large memory and huge disk space. suppose, also, that i've decided to partition the server into two virtual ones, the first to run a client application (telnet) written in a 4gl which connects over the netork to the second, an ingres dbms server. as you can see, distinct applications and, of course, very different performance requirements.

what would be the overall performance of my server? does a performance adjustment applied to one of them impact the other, as their performance requirements are so different? are standalone servers a better solution?

tia,

Abraços,
Marlon Borba, CISSP.
