New to aix virtualization direction ?
picked up a 9111-520 p5 hardware recently with 8 Gig of RAM, lots of internal disk space...6 x 140 gig
had 7.1 pre-installed, and managed to upgrade the firmware to latest SF240_xxxx
goal is to virtualize this and have LPARs running aix 7.1, 6.x, and Rhat for ppc ..
need some directions and advices ??
from what I have read, you must put the VIO server on hdisk0 , and ha ve either IVM or HMC installed, in order to create and/or manage LPARs..??

Following options can be specified, both for the interactive and the batch mode:
-h | --help
Prints a short help.
-v | --version
Prints the version number to standard output.
-d | --datadir datadir
Uses datadir instead of ~/.usbprog.
-o | --offline
Don't try to connect to the internet. Use the cached firmware and index file(s) only.
-D | --debug
Enable debugging output.
COMMANDS
This section describes all commands. As mentioned above, the syntax is the same for interactive and batch usage.

on the disk. The extension doesn't matter.
FILES
~/.usbprog/version.xml
Index file, downloaded from http://www.ixbat.de/usbprog/versions.xml.
