Yer right! And http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/virtualization/index.html would seem to imply that the hardware/firmware is the same for AIX and i. Well, it says that PowerVM can run them both, but does not actually *say* at the same time on the same hardware/firmware, but I would think that would be the case.

Yes, back around the 2008 timeframe, IBM merged their iSeries and pSeries (IIRC) hardware into the power line, so now both System i and System p run on the same hardware line (I don't remember if they are identical up to the OS or if they run different firmware on the iron). The difference between them is the System p is in the operating system. The System p runs either AIX or Linux and the System i runs whatever OS/400 morphed into. I extrapolated the above from http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/i/about.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
