I'm not so sure about replacing all spinning disks with SSD's.
I have three Power 8's, all with multiple LPARs. Two of them are all SSD
(except for the VIOS partitions) and the third one is all spinning disks.
The third one is more of a 'double backup' and sandbox machine. We cut
costs a little on that one.
SSD's have a separate maintenance. After just a few years the maintenance
on them goes through the roof. Basically to the point you're buying them
new on a monthly basis. Those who like to hold on to their machines for
ever and still have them on maintenance will not like that at all. And,
yes, they do fail on occasion. I've had a number replaced. Most of them
we're within a short time of using them.
