I want one!

Would it be a P505? Any sources? Cheapest I've seen os $1300 from US, the shipping and VAT would kill it tho. Cheapest I've found in UK is £3300 + VAT - way too much...

1800Eur - aint cheap but still much cheaper than 3300 UKP.

Alright... so it can run VM/LPARs but is not licensed to do so (my IBM knowledge is pretty much... lacking)?
Have a look at this one:
http://cgi.ebay.de/IBM-pSeries-Power5-9 ... 065wt_1141
They have "PowerVM Code" in the options list for this one... But the price is outrageous. The 3300 pounds offering starts to look better.

Sorry for not being helpful...

P.S. this shop had before one Power4 server with APV with a price range at 2-3k Eur. So maybe that is the cheapest one (and less capable partitioning AFAIK).

No problem! I was stupid, I have a p5-550 on the way with no VET code, I didn't realise you need to get one (and pay for one). Now I know!

It's not as if you can try it or hack it, you can only get the code from IBM locked to the serial and who knows what else...

Thanks anyway - this is a learning curve...
