IVM and VIO
IVM and VIO are basically the same thing. The difference is with IVM you do not need an HMC for it to work as the graphical interface used to create LPARs is on the VIO using IVM. Using IVM you can do everything that is possible with a VIO configured system. the main difference is with IVM you can only have one VIO server so there is no reslilience!

For an environment with dual VIO servers and multiple LPARs you will need an HMC and 5 or more internal (or SAN) disks: 2 each for mirrored rootvg on the VIO servers and the remaining disk(s) can be partitioned into client logical volumes and virtualised to the client LPARs using VSCSI devices.
