RE: Timeline for EOS HMC x86

Am I reading this right?
V9R1M9xx versions of HMC code go out of service 2020-03-31?
And the follow on release will not run on our two 7042-CR8?
Leaving us the options of:
- Standalone Power system for HMC, like the 7063-CR1?
- Creating HMC lpar on existing Power systems?
- virtualized HMC (vHMC) image in either the VMware, KVM or Xen hypervisors on your own x86 hardware

This is a rapidly approaching budget decision.

I've been tasked to test deploying the last option, at least as a backup HMC(s) for our existing two HMC's which control our two P9's and our one P8.

What are the licensing arrangements for the vHMC option?
Any "how to" instructions for installing vHMC?
