It's not bought yet, and I need enterprise edition because of all the extra software bundled, specially Tivoli Monitoring.
It's only one server now for testing purposes, later it will be a large cluster of servers.
Oh, and how about the licensing for virtualizing AIX in LPARs?
Is it necessary one license for each LPAR with AIX installed?
Thanks for the answers!

when you bought the server, you bought licenses with it. usually you buy AIX and PowerVM licenses for the whole server. I know, it is possible to buy AIX licenses only for some cores, but I don't think it is possible to buy PowerVM licenses for a part of a server.
you write, that you've bought AIX licenses for 4 cores. It means that you can use AIX on all of the cores. It doesn't matter how many LPARs you create. You can have 1 LPAR, 4 LPARs or 80 LPARs on the server.
The redbooks says about "dedicated partitions". It is not technically correct wording, but it means LPARs with dedicated CPUs. If you have a server with maximum 8 cores, you can create up to 8 LPARs with dedicated CPUs. In this case you are physically limited to number of CPUs you have in the box. If you don't plan to use dedicated CPUs, you can create up to 80 LPARs on your particular server.

virt-copy-out
virt-copy-out(1) Virtualization Support virt-copy-out(1)
NAME
virt-copy-out - Copy files and directories out of a virtual machine disk image.
SYNOPSIS
virt-copy-out -a disk.img /file|dir [/file|dir ...] localdir
virt-copy-out -d domain /file|dir [/file|dir ...] localdir
DESCRIPTION
"virt-copy-out" copies files and directories out of a virtual machine disk image or named libvirt domain.
You can give one of more filenames and directories on the command line. Directories are copied out recursively.
EXAMPLES
Download the home directories from a virtual machine:
mkdir homes
virt-copy-out -d MyGuest /home homes
JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "copy-out" command. For anything more complex than a trivial
copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.
OPTIONS
Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options.
SEE ALSO
guestfish(1), virt-cat(1), virt-copy-in(1), virt-edit(1), virt-tar-in(1), virt-tar-out(1), http://libguestfs.org/.
