We have now finished reconfiguring out power10 servers and the last thing to do there is install the fedora coreos lpars.

I can work with @dustymabe and @poorna or whoever the coreos folks would prefer. ;)

I have already setup the lpars. We have 2 power10 servers and we have tried to make everything as redundant as possible, so in the event of a failure of a server we are still ok, or the failure of a network card or disk. Toward that end there are 2 lpars, one on each server.

They have the following specs:

kvm capable checkbox checked
3 dedicated processors allocated (thats 24 threads)
32gb memory
200gb disk
2 sr-iov ports on two different cards. The default vlan is our prod network, which is ok for installing, but would prefer moving to vlan 711 (build) after install

In order to install, we need a disk image (which we can copy to the VIOS virtual library and attach to the lpar) and any command line arguments to pass it.

32gb memory

All the other specs look good and this (I think) is the current amount our builder has, though if we could have 64gb as a christmas present that would work better.

Alas, unless we get more memory for them 32 is what I have to give you now. ;(
