You can replace them with iSCSI attached 1U servers...

That's what a former employer did with IxA servers. They did it the
hard way, by rebuilding the Win2K3 servers. IBM does offer a
migration service:

IXS/IXA to iSCSI migration utility:
IBM Lab Services is offering a migration utility that can take an
IXS/IXA based Windows 2003 Server image to an iSCSI based image. The
migration utility saves you from having to do a new operating system
install, reinstalling your applications and reconfiguring your server
back to its previous state. If you are interesting in taking advantage
of this utility, send an e-mail to intwin@xxxxxxxxxxx

HTH,
Charles

IIRC, the newer boxes do not support these. I'll hate to lose them.

Think you could on the FSIOP card(s) and the IXA/IXS's.

All,
I was having a conversation with someone yesterday and they mentioned

that

they remember that you could run windows on the same box as an ibm i.

Now,

I immediately was suspicious of this statement but they claimed that

about

10 years ago there was a special processing card that you would put

in the

machine that would be used to run the OS. Can anybody clear this up?

Is

it possible to run IBM i and Windows on the same hardware platform?

Even

considering virtualization options is this possible?
