Full Discussion: IBM Virtual Machine OS on intel x86 and x64? IBM AIX OS on IBM Virtual Machine?
Operating Systems AIX IBM Virtual Machine OS on intel x86 and x64? IBM AIX OS on IBM Virtual Machine? Post 302932252 by rbatte1 on Tuesday 20th of January 2015 08:40:52 AM

Do you mean the wonderful VM that runs on mainframes class servers? I think that will require IBM hardware, probably badged as zSeries.

I started on VM/XA in 1990 eventually migrating to VM/ESA but then we dropped mainframes for unix, specifically AIX first.

AIX will also not run on x86 hardware. It requires IBM pSeries or (less usually) iSeries however all current IBM hardware can be partitioned to share the overall hardware between many running operating systems.

I hope that this helps, but if I've missed the point, please write back.
