A few things:

1.    Setting it up is a relative bitch.  You (correctly) order all of the
equipment, and then IBM ships it to in whatever position they want to, not
where you need it.  So you, or a CE (billable) have to reconfigure it.
2.    If it's not ordered properly, you may have extra equipment/less
money.  Your BP has to know how to use a tool called the "LPAR Validation
Tool" (or LVT).
3).   Older models are no problem.  Newer models (5xx) require you to buy
an overpriced Linux based PC to control it.  It's called the Hardware
Management Console (or HMC).  At COMMON, I called it the "Horrible Machine
Console".  It mostly works, except for when it doesn't;  in fairness, it
works for simple things, but stumbles on tough ones.  I'm sure that it will
be fixed by Christmas (just in time for the Y10K problem).

For older models, we have a product that helps.  See:

We hope to have the HMC controlled models when the HMC is ready.
