The new Power 9 box I recently installed is up and running and is pretty
darn fast for my needs as a developer. 16GB RAM and a mirrored pair of
SAS drives (283GB). I am pretty happy with the IBM i side of things but
I'd like to put the three other processors to work. I got the virtual
HMC going OK so I can create the partitions. Now I just need some more
resources.
I am a developer so I am cheap...so the question is: Is there a
hardware compatibility matrix listed somewhere? I will most likely add
some memory and disk so what I am looking for is the lowest compatible
resource that I can allocate to a Linux partition that will work in a
P9. Also, I don't want the resources to affect the IBM i partition,
which I would guess is possible using the HMC. I am more familiar
with virtualization using VIOS on a BC-S so maybe the whole approach is
different when all the resources are in the same CEC.
