Some additional ideas
root "/" on SLES needs to
be at least 3-4 GB,
The
reason being is if you plan to perform online up dates, Yast2 needs some
place to copy the files to, until they are installed. I have yet
to determine where online update puts the temp install files, I found this
when an update failed and hung my machine, had to reinstall the OS.
Do not forget to create your swap space,
with 4Gb of ram, normally test makes a swap space 4 GB also
I would also suggest after creating
/, /boot, and swap space, you use LVM functions of SLES 9, this will allow
you to grow a file system if you originally make it to small.
/usr/OV - the Tivoli test organization
normal sets this to about 4 GB, this allows room for the large trace
files we sometime need to get.
/opt -
the Tivoli test organization normal sets this to about 4 GB, since we end
up install a number of other products on test systems.

Just some hints, not to be taken as gospel (I am more familiar with other
flavours of linux).
Chances are a Xeon system has hardware raid so you will just see 1 disk
of 73.4GB
Starting from the standard install scheme, then
Reduce size of /home to very small (1GB)
In case you ever put other products on such as IBM java, or Tivoli gateway
add a /opt partition.
/opt should be at least 2GB.
Keep the root partition '/' small.
Have a separate /boot partition.
Netview is best in it's own /usr/OV partition.
Split the rest of the disk into 2 partitions called
/usr and /usr/OV
say 30% to /usr and 60% to /usr/OV

I need to install IBM Tivoli Netview 7.1.4 on a server IBM xSeries 336:
- 2 x Processor Xeon 3.2 GHz/800MHz 1MB L2 Cache EM64T
- 2 x HD 73.4 GB
- 4GB ECC DDR2 SDRAM RDIMM
with OS SLES 9.
I'ld like to figure out what is the best partition scheme to use for my
platform.
Many Thanks,
rocsca
