Re: IBM i on JS21 blade?

Researching the CPU i find it's not a vanilla Power4 but a derivative
made together with Apple (it's the heart of the G5 macs for example).
And the Js21 implementation redbook says nothing about IBM i. So i
left the recovery isos for VIOS downloading and will embark in the not
so easy task of setting up VIOS.
I've read the nightmare tales about updating VIOS... and better to
suffer it on a test system rather than a future client...

Thanks all for the help!

I'll revisit this when i get an IBM i capable blade (say, 4 years?)

Even with VIOS I think the underlying hardware is still important.
Everything might be virtualized but virtualization can only take you so
far....

It *would* be an interesting experiment though.  Wouldn't cost you
anything to try it....except your time ;-)

That's what i found as well, but upon reading that it supported VIOS,
i thought "maybe" i can make it run i.
I'll keep searching

Thanks
