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?

fann_train_epoch - Train one epoch with a set of training data

SYNOPSIS
float fann_train_epoch (resource $ann, resource $data) DESCRIPTION
Train one epoch with the training data stored in data. One epoch is where all of the training data is considered exactly once. This function returns the MSE error as it is calculated either before or during the actual training. This is not the actual MSE after the training epoch, but since calculating this will require to go through the entire training set once more. It is more than adequate to use this value during training. The training algorithm used by this function is chosen by fann_set_training_algorithm(3) function. PARAMETERS
o $ann -Neural network resource. o $data -Neural network training data resource. RETURN VALUES
The MSE, or FALSE on error. SEE ALSO
fann_train_on_data(3), fann_test_data(3), fann_get_MSE(3), fann_set_training_algorithm(3). PHP Documentation Group FANN_TRAIN_EPOCH(3)
