Topic
Virtualization for IBM i
Craig Nelson will present "Virtualization for IBM i"
Do you think virtualization on IBM i is only for large shops
with large systems?
Do you think virtualization on IBM i is costly and always
requires an HMC device?
Do you think virtualization on IBM i always requires additional
hardware to implement?
You may be surprised to find out that virtualization on IBM i can be
implemented on the smallest Power systems and may not even require
an Hardware Management Console device or the addition of any
additional hardware to your existing system!
This session will describe and demonstrate the different methods of
IBM i virtualization including hardware based virtualization, the
functionality of Virtual I/O Server in providing superb versatility
and cost savings, and the new functionality available with V7R1 for
IBM i hosted virtualization.
If you want to know more about what's new with IBM i hosted logical
partitions (no additional hardware I/O required) or what the Virtual
I/O Server (VIOS) is about, come to this meeting!
This presentation is a great preliminary session for our next
meeting in February, 2012 where we will demonstrate running IBM i
on all external disk using the Virtual I/O Server and how we can
save an entire system with just a few minutes of downtime for the
users, or move our system to other hardware and logical partitions!
