I believe that if you use LVM, you should put only 1 virtual machine on one logical volume. With 280GB available, you will have no problems in creating many logical volumes and keep some space to resize them, in the case you need more space for running the services you want to install on the virtual machines.

Cheers

I am working on starting Virtural Servers at my office and have questions 
regarding disk partitioning recommendations.

I am using SLES 10 SP2.....  RAID 5....  280G available...  no external 
storage...

1 - Should the DOM be on primary partition and then place the VM's in LVM?

2 - Should I create partitions in the LVM for each of my VM's separately or can 
they all reside on the same partition in the LVM Volume?

Thanks in advance for any input into my questions....

Phil
