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.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Here's a good source. Read carefully. Like, do not power up the new system until you have the HMC connected. Stuff like that...

Now, if the disk is all internal I would NOT use VIOS to host internal disk. Tried that, scratched the system and started over. Huge performance degradation. I use IBM i to host internal disk to other IBM i, and AIX, lpars.
When we set up our systems VIOS was the only way to go for external disk. Not that we are using that.
Some things may have changed over the years. We are using two redundant VIOS lpars to host Ethernet and Fiber Channel. Maybe IBM i can host both these now? Maybe just one or the other?

Although that last one may need some updates. Since it is a 7.4 reference why is it mentioning Power 6 and blade servers?
