Default Partition Load Manager

We are using Partion Load Manager with our p595 servers and AIX 5.3. There
is a problem with PLM in that if you have more than 10 LPARs in a single PLM
daemon then you get communication errors with the HMC. APAR IY92096 status
that you need to
"Run multiple plm sessions with policy files containing less managed lpars
in each session."

I assume that multiple plm sessions means multiple daemons. However I have
not found any documentation about how to configure multiple sessions. For
example do I need to distribute the CPUs and memory between each session or
should each session include the installed CPU and memory capacity.

Any ideas on what we should do here? That APAR has not been fixed yet.
Also we are still on the 1.1.0.1 level of PLM, with plans to upgrade to
1.1.0.2

Thanks
