RE: HMC as a Power lpar?

The vHMC running on POWER will only be able to manage OTHER POWER systems, not the system it is running on.
The new HMC appliance based on POWER8 will function just like the current HMC.

I’m curious to see how IBM prices the new HMC HW. If it’s more than the current HW, then they will shootthem selves in the foot on their POWER is less expensive marketing message.

Subject: Re: HMC as a Power lpar?

I'm wondering how this slices and dices disk. For example, on my Power
8's I have one mirrored pair for VIOS1 lpar. Another mirrored pair for my
VIOS2 lpar. And 60+ SSD's all controlled by my IBM i based hosting lpar
which serves up virtual disk to the rest of my guests of IBM i and AIX.
So, where does this HMC lpar fit into all this?
