IBM i on Power9 9009-22A S922
IBM i support is provided at a price-attractive P10 software tier even though the S922 has two sockets. However, there are limitations to the maximum size of the partition, and all I/O must be virtualized through VIOS. Up to four cores (real or virtual) per IBM i partition are supported. Multiple IBM i partitions can be created and run concurrently, and each individual partition can have up to four cores for IBM i OS400. The 9009-22A does not support IBM i on the PE16 4-core processor. IBM i requires VIOS and OS400 V7R3 TR4 or V7R2 TR8 and later.
