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 ??
You do not need both Powervm and IVM both are really one in the same. Powervm will run on a normal VIO server, however IVM will install as a VIO server. The difference is to run Powervm you really need an Hardware Management Console (HMC) to enable you to setup various LPARs which includes the VIO servers. The normal configuration of dual VIO servers is not possible when using IVM as this is the VIO server and everything is controlled via IVM which involves loggin directly into the VIO using a graphical interface.
Also zxmaus' comment was absolutely correct you install the VIO server O/S and your can kiss goodbye to your AIX installation!
I am afraid with your configuration you have one choice which is spend some money on more disks!
Hope this helps.

I have a power5 that I would like to update and bring everything forward.
I am wondering about trouble-free upgrades. Is it better to go 5.3 -> 7 or 5.3 ->6 ->7?
The power5 box is behind and hopefully can learn from experiences here.
Thanks. (6 Replies)

NAME
libroar - RoarAudio sound library
roarvio - RoarAudio virtual IO layer
SYNOPSIS
#include <roaraudio.h>
struct roar_vio_calls;
DESCRIPTION
The RoarAudio VIO interface is RoarAudio's IO abstraction layer. It provides basic IO functions such as read and write independing on the
underlaying IO. For Example can you open a plain or a gziped file via the VIO layer. After a successful open both objects behave the same,
libroar takes care about the compression in the gzip case.
TUTORIALS
Tutorials can be found in roartutvio(7).
IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS
There are several important functions. This is a small list of the most important ones.
Opening
roar_vio_open_file(3), roar_vio_open_fh(3), roar_vio_open_stdio(3), roar_vio_open_dstr(3), roar_vio_open_proto(3).
While there are a lot functions important for opening files the most important one is roar_vio_open_dstr(3). It opens a stream based
on URLs that can point to local files or files on remote machines. It also can handle compression and encryption.
Closing
roar_vio_close(3), roar_vio_shutdown(3)
Reading and writing
roar_vio_read(3), roar_vio_write(3)
Seeking and positioning
roar_vio_lseek(3)
Non-Blocking and Asyncron IO
roar_vio_nonblock(3), roar_vio_sync(3), roar_vio_select(3)
Networking and Sockets
roar_vio_accept(3)
