picked up an old p520..and also spend sometimes to manage software:
a) AIX 7.1
b) VIOS Server 2.2
attempting to run a few LPARs without much more $$$$, as this is a home-made projects..
machine hdisk0, pre-installed with AIX 7.1
a few questions:
a) In order to run LPARs, I will need Powervm express and IVM , are these two part of this VIOS Server 2.2 I got ??
b) I don't think HMC is necessarily, since IVM is there..
don't want to spend extra $$$ on some more IBM gears
c) If I have all the pieces, Can I boot off the VIOS Server DVD, and install it on-top of hdisk0, which has the AIX 7.1 image ?? or what is the next step?? I am a newbie in VIOS
thanks
