Anyone have any document or whitepaper or refernce that i can use to size the hardware accordingly

IBM Redbooks:

"IBM eServer p5 570 Technical Overview and Introduction"
"Understanding IBM eServer pSeries Performance and Sizing"
"IBM Virutalization Engine Platform Version 2 Technical Presentation Guide"
"Advanced Virutalizatoin Features on p5 Servers"

There are probably more, the first 2 would be the first I would look at, and if you wanted more info on virutalization you can read the others. Your best bet is to go to

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com

and search for your topic then download the books.

Unix *is* user friendly. It's just selective about who its friends are.
