Thanks for the reply, Dan. Ironically I had just found the Redbook that you referenced. I've begun reading it. So far, my understanding is that PowerVM runs on Power Servers running i, AIX, and Linux. The part I still don't understand is the relationship between PowerVM and and HMC. Is PowerVM essentially an unpublished programming interface? You still need an HMC for the User Interface?

Subject: RE: What platform does PowerVM run on?
Surely there are others who could answer this better than I can, but let me get it started.
PowerVM is basically what we've come to know on IBMi as a guested LPAR. PowerVM runs on a POWER box (POWER6 or POWER7). That POWER box will probably also be running IBMi or AIX as it's host operating system. You usually manage your PowerVM's with HMC. You don't directly attach disk or ethernet, DVD or other devices to PowerVM, all that is done through the host or VIOS (Virtual I/O Server).
Take a quick look at this redbook
