Re: IBM i hosting IBM i does not insulate you from hardware dependencies, right?

Sounds like a simple FAQ type of question but my google-fu is off today.
I was asked elsewhere if one could run a version of IBM i on a current
Power server and then use that to host a partition of IBM i with an older
version of IBM i than is normally supported on that model of Power server.
I'm pretty sure the answer is no but I thought I'd double check.

IBM i hosting, and VIOS as well, are only ways to provide IO virtualization. They do not play any role for CPU and memory topics, so the LPAR will run with CPU's server model and this mapping applies: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/system-ibm-i-mapping

This document does specify specific cases (such as POWER9 and 7.1) but says nothing which could lead to think that IBM i hosting removes the server dependancy.
