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 8-core processor (#EP18, QPRCRFEAT EP18) is IBM i SW tier P10.
The 10-core processor (#EP19, QPRCRFEAT EP19) is IBM i SW tier P10.

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. 

The 9009-22A with the EP19, 10-core processor is available in a 1 or 2 processor configuration to create a 20-core machine. 

This 2 processor configuration is the maximum number of processor cores available in the 9009-22A model family. 

Not looking to run IBM i in a VIOS environment? Take a look at the S914 9009-41A or S922 9009-42A servers.
