I have a 9131-52A which is not really on the market anymore either, but I was still able to get my PowerVM license, which cost me about 400€. I am able with just 1 CPU to do micro-partitioning, have 4 LPARs running where one of them is a VIO server. The license key has to be entered in ASMI if you have no HMC. I did that and work with IVM since I do not have a HMC.
I would try to check 1st if your 9111-285, is capable of micro-partitioning and does support LPARs. If you enter the ASMI and check the licenses (don't remember the correct name), there will be all those listed, which are activated and which not. Not that you spent 400 € and can't use the license.
We had a thread over here:

dpkg-preconfigure
DPKG-PRECONFIGURE(8) Debconf DPKG-PRECONFIGURE(8)
NAME
dpkg-preconfigure - let packages ask questions prior to their installation
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-preconfigure [options] package.deb
dpkg-preconfigure --apt
DESCRIPTION
dpkg-preconfigure lets packages ask questions before they are installed. It operates on a set of debian packages, and all packages that
use debconf will have their config script run so they can examine the system and ask questions.
OPTIONS
-ftype, --frontend=type
Select the frontend to use.
-pvalue, --priority=value
Set the lowest priority of questions you are interested in. Any questions with a priority below the selected priority will be ignored
and their default answers will be used.
--terse
Enables terse output mode. This affects only some frontends.
--apt
Run in apt mode. It will expect to read a set of package filenames from stdin, rather than getting them as parameters. Typically this
is used to make apt run dpkg-preconfigure on all packages before they are installed. To do this, add something like this to
/etc/apt/apt.conf:
// Pre-configure all packages before
// they are installed.
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {
"dpkg-preconfigure --apt --priority=low";
};
-h, --help
Display usage help.
