IBM Power 595 Technical Overview and Introduction
The PowerVM features are supported in Version 2.6.9 and above of the Linux kernel. The
commercially available latest distributions from Red Hat Enterprise (RHEL AS 5) and Novell
SUSE Linux (SLES 10) support the IBM System p 64-bit architectures and are based on this
2.6 kernel series.
Clients who want to configure Linux partitions in virtualized System p systems should
consider the following:
Not all devices and features supported by the AIX operating system are supported in
logical partitions running the Linux operating system.
Linux operating system licenses are ordered separately from the hardware. Clients can
acquire Linux operating system licenses from IBM, to be included with their 595 server or
from other Linux distributors.
