How can it be any harder than dedicated AIX on iSeries?  It's the same
CEC, just a different FC.  I understand there are limitations on number
of processors, but you have dedicated buses, frames, drives, IOA/IOP - I
don't see why it would be any harder than dedicated AIX or Linux on a i5
box.

Unless there's something I'm missing - however, I have a feeling that
some i5 folks would say that config of AIX and Linux is "not pretty"
either.
