You can download Centos for Power and just install it. Disks, ok.
When using VIOS there's no issue.
When using all IBM i disks (528b) you need the AIX Disk CD tool to convert
from pdisks to hdisks (528b to 512b) or you can host Linux on IBMi

For Linux you need to use 512b disks but i think you can reformat the IBM

Or use IBM i for Hosting Linux on i.

I have an HMC... is it as simple as deleting the existing IBM i
partition and loading a POWER-architecture Linux from DVD?
