 Linux on the IBM i platform
| | |
|
POWER Linux distributions run on System i and selected iSeries servers in a logical partition. The following tables identify which System i and iSeries models that support Linux.
For each server model the CPW is listed, where applicable, with the number of CPUs provided with the server. The tables also indicate if the server supports Logical Partitioning (LPAR) with Micro-Partitions or shared processors, supports Linux running in a partition, and the maximum number of partitions supported.
