IBM Power S922 and IBM i
IBM i support is provided at a price-attractive P10 software tier even though the S922 has two sockets. However, there are limitations to the maximum size of the partition, and all I/O must be virtualized through VIOS. Up to four cores (real or virtual) per IBM i partition are supported. Multiple IBM i partitions can be created and run concurrently, and each individual partition can have up to four cores
IBM i QPRCRFEAT values are the same numeric value as the processor feature code. IBM i does not support the 4-core processor feature EP16

The Power9 S922 model 9009-22A pricing depends on the configuration of the server. Each S922 9009-22A system comes custom configured based on customer requirements, including number of active cores and processers, disk drives and SSD, memory, storage, licensed IBM programs, and number of concurrent users. For MES System Upgrades, please provide your current iSeries System Model and Serial Number.
