Re: VMWare

I'd LPAR if I could but I can't on this model 270 - 2248 processor box. The IPCS is currently unused and it would be great if I could use it for a Linux box.

I question why Linux on an IPCS versus on a Linux lpar? I gather it's just because you have an older IPCS laying around and want to put it to use.
Remember, even on the newer 5xx boxes you do NOT need a HMC solution to configure Linux lpars. You only need HMC to configure multiple i5/os lpars, or to do Capacity Upgrade on Demand.
Is it additional hardware concerns? Most of that can be worked around with things like vLan.
