Implementing PowerVM without spending a single dollar

Hi experts. I want to setup a training lab.

I have a Power 5 standalone server 9110-51A (p5 510)

I want to enable PowerVM on it and create two LPARs

I don't have money for an HMC

I know I can use IVM instead

I understand IVM is part of the VIOS software

TWO QUESTIONS:

1- If I wanted to use IVM instead of HMC, the only thing I would need to do is install the VIOS software? is there anything else I would need to install besides the VIOS? Is the VIOS software free?

2- Would I still need a PowerVM activation code?

IN SUMMARY

Can I virtualize a Power 5 server without spending a single dollar in licensing fees or activation codes?
