Wow, can AIX even do that? No offense, but why would you want to do that even?
I hadn't thought AIX was state of the art as far as virtualization hosts go. I would have thought if you had a server that ran AIX you would go the other way (virtualize it on esxi or something.)
I have an old server that runs AIX. I need to be able to mount all of the volumes from a drive I grabbed out of an even older IBM machine, but it won't let me because they are named the same exact thing as the volumes on the newer system.
Anybody know how to go about doing this?
There are some things I just can no longer do in AIX but would work much better with GNU compilers.
Have you tried the Linux tools for AIX?

When IBM Director first went multi-platform, we had really good luck using gcc/gmake on AIX to compile the original linux source with minimal changes. It's hilarious to think back and realise the first AIX release of one of IBM's biggest products was built on 2 hand-me-down 43P-150s.
Sometimes, I really miss AIX and smitty.
Yea unfortunately we have, still too many issues. I did find a bug in (suma) in 7.1! I felt so proud reporting it to IBM haha.
Too bad, would have been easy. In regards to CentOS, we used it all the time for internal ppcLinux builds, always worked fine. In my case I just direct installs, but I can't imagine why it would be an issue in an LPAR.
It's funny that people don't realise that IBM basically invented VMs. They designed the first hypervisor way back in the god damn 1960s and had LPAR support in their OSes by the 70s.
It never even occurred to me that AIX would run on x86. I thought it was PPC only. I will have to look into this.
Thanks for the idea.
Get the PowerVM Quicksheet here: http://www.tablespace.net/index.html
Best quick reference for VIOS out there IMO. Saved my arse a few times.
I manage two p770's and a few p520's in a dual-HMC setup... All running AIX 5.3 to 7.1. I did try RHEL 5 on one LPAR until the trial expired.
Are they in the rootvg group? Or some other vg?
Pretty sure they are in the rootvg group. From what I could find, they are locked because the names are the same as on the drive I am booting with. The volumes that don't have the same names mount just fine.
No idea, but I doubt you will get much help for an AIX sysadmin question on a virtualization forum?
