Re: Older i Versions as LPAR Guests?

Hardware.

If you have a POWER6 (Oldest that can have an IBM i Guest) the oldest O/S it can run is IBM i 5.4. (And some POWER6s the oldest is i 6.1)

So hosting of V4Ranythingatall is gonna be a no go.

And besides those old versions would recognize a virtual disk or virtual disk controller either as the didn't exist when V4 was supported.

Hello,

I didn't find information regarding this, so maybe one of you knows if there is some statement about running older Versions of IBM i, i5/OS or OS/400 as guest in an IBM i hosted LPAR? For example, to have V4R5 running to still have access to OfficeVision?
