More work on the Power 720 today. Last night I installed VIOS (basically virtual disk and virtual optical drive support) to see if I could get any functionality (since the system is not entitled.) It won't even boot from that partition so I wiped it and reinstalled AIX 7.2. I have 32GB coming as well as one more drive to add to IBM i's single instance storage pool.
The goal is to run AIX and i simultaneously and take it to DFW Retro's meetup next month. I'll have AIX on the local console, i on a 5250 emulator and the HMC on a third screen. I might also try upgrading i from V7R2 to V7R3 today. We'll see.
