I believe ours were also RS/6000's but I'm not sure because it was a long time ago. Those were rented machines with an expensive per-hour service contract. My company didn't want to pay for the setup so we did it ourselves. Totally possible the machines were misconfigured deliberately to make us pay for the setup service or maybe they were just in the state the previous customer had let them and that didn't fit our network. Anyways my point was more that with this old tech you'll probably spend a lot of time on boring details before you'll even get to the fun part, like running DB2.
