The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Evan/Paul,
Thank you for your responses so far. Good content.
Evan, thank you for the input on consuming i licenses when going down the
path of i hosting i. Good to know.
I see also that the disk is all internal, so it probably comes down to what
has been ordered as to which is actually viable.
The disks that were ordered for this box are ESJBs, and in my reading today
I found out that these disks, although identical to ESJAs, are identified by
IBM as disks used by IBM i.

When this box was ordered it was primarily meant to be used for hosting
customer LPARs spread across different versions of i, as well as in-house
development partitions of i. Linux on Power was more of an afterthought (we
currently have Linux only on x86 hardware). So now I'm wondering if I can
even get VIOS up on this box, or if I will have to go down the route of i
hosting i/Linux. We still plan on using it for the original purpose, but I
was hoping to get some extra bang out of the hardware by adding Linux LPARs.
Am I missing something here? Can I still host Linux LPARs with ESJB disks?
