Hi Ahmad, Thanks for your answer. I know the general prerequisites and hardware requirements from the links you've mentioned. Given the fact I'm limited to use ONLY IBM servers, I was hoping to a more specific answer about a certain IBM recommended server model, perhaps based on self experience of some people in the community. The servers have a lot of variants, such as how much RAM, which exact CPU model, hardisk type of controllers (SCSI, SAS), etc. Also, if I want to run a few virtual servers, how many NIC do I need to have? I know I might need more than one because not all the machines are connected to the same network domains. Thanks, Ziv
