Hmmmm.  The more I look that this IVM configuration, the more I am led 
to believe that i5/OS in NOT installed.  I see only one partition in IVM 
but I can't quite see what OS that partition is running.  Something 
tells me I should see 2 partitions if i5/OS is installed: 1 for VIOS and 
1 for i5/OS, correct?

Maybe this express isn't as "express" as I thought.  The configuration 
has: "5005  Software Preinstall" in the Hardware section but in the 
software section I only see the 5005 code listed in the section with 
"5692-A5L System Software", not under "5761-SS1  i5/OS".  So maybe it 
isn't installed.

Should I see two partitions if i5/OS is installed?
