- oneplane 5y agoEssentially it's a microcode hypervisor. You can indeed install Linux on an LPAR, but it will be a useless linux unless you intend to use it for classic 'bog box' installations. (with big box referring to the cardboard boxes that come with installation floppies/CD/DVD media type of software 'distribution') While an LPAR could technically be HVM, the nature of the changes required to an OS make it PV-like.
- nix23 5y agoI just wanted to say that it's NOT like jails and it's not OS-Virtualization.
- oneplane 5y agoIf someone wanted to make a comparison, it's like additional 'rings' the x86 ring security model, but instead of nested rings it's parallel rings. You might as well have a single OS with containers.
