Re: Creating a Linux LPAR on 9009-41A

I have ubuntu 16.04 running on Power9 as well as CentOS7

I did have running a ubunutu 18, but the software I was using wanted version 16.04

if you are in a multi-system environment running alinux server to be your LPAR2RRD server is great. https://lpar2rrd.com/

AFAIK Ubuntu didn't really pan out for POWER, they haven't updated the
tools for the last couple of releases so it makes sense to say
"unsupported". I would still try to run something supported since otherwise
you lose the power tools that give you DLPAR and the like. But any ppc64el
distro should boot even in PowerVM mode.

Starting with POWER9, Ubuntu is not supported in PowerVM partitions

Maybe after they swallowed Red Hat, they want to give it an extra push. ;-)

(„Not supported“ does not necessarily mean „does not work“. I think for a
playground this is okay to be ignored.)
