In my opinion the did a rather good job in virtualization,
also considering the storage part.

There is a lot of "think big" inside the concepts, but the system
engineer or architect also needs to think big, too. You can outperform
ESXi with a power box rather quickly when it comes to heavy load.
And i really mean heavy load on a 12+ core system creating 1Mio+ I/O.
There is some caveat in resiliency - IBM i does not break when you switch
off the storage and reactivate it. You just need to be patient. But compared
to some weirdness of ESXi managing their fibre channels or iSCSI
paths it does not confuse their multi paths - which we saw several times
in the last 10 years.

As said, I stand corrected. Thanks for that extensive explanation. Now even more I think that IBM didn't do a good job in proper virtualization of IBM i in the first place. But maybe it's only me and myself being very accustomed to the way ESXi handles storage stuff.
