When I did testing using internal disk, I noticed that IBM i seemed to perform a bit faster when VIOS was the host versus IBM i. I didn't gather performance data so it's just my perception. That was several years ago and I think if the underlying disk configuration is the same, currently the client partition should see near the same performance.

Subject: IBM i vs VIOS for Host Partition
I am curious about the Performance differences, if any, when hosting IBM i on IBM i vs IBM i on VIOS. Are the 2 methods about the same? Wildly Different?
Do I need more Memory or CPU generally speaking for one vs the other etc?
I don't need or want a discussion on what features/capabilities of each method, but just how well the guest partitions perform. Looking for real life experiences and any book type references..
Thanks
