Hello,

We have a 9408-M25 running i5OS with several LPARs (for test and
development).

We also have several IBM Power 520 Express series 8203-E4A servers
running AIX.

In order to provide more AIX test environments, we are converting our
9408-M25 to several AIX partitions.

IBM says they can just 'convert' the 9408-M25 to 8203-E4A with a license
code change.

So exactly what is the difference between these two models?

It appears they are both IBM Power 520 Express hardware platform and can
both run Linux, i5/OS, and AIX.

Thanks,

Nate Gelbard | Senior QA Engineer | Performance Team Lead
