Re: Power 11 and software vendors?

Ok,  I see you on the NVMe.  We stopped using internal disks for IBM i
after Power 9.  However our BP is quite insistent upon internal disks for
VIOS.  We'll have four horrifically underutilized LPARs on the S1112.
Mainly for testing.  And not even daily RPG rollout testing.  More like new
release and some special Domino stuff.  One lpar has 0.15 CPU allocated to
it and was using less than one percent of that.
