Welp, pleeeeeease keep in mind that the Talos 2 board (OPENPOWER) <br>
doesn't comes with AIX license or IBM serial number or whatsoever. IBM <br>
put the download links behind a paywall, which is pretty much what I <br>
expected for a proprietary system. But I managed to find some torrents,</blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Please do not install unlicensed software in the cfarm.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">(Full disclosure: I work for an IBM subsidiary, but I'm concerned about liability for the cfarm project, not loss of revenue for IBM.)</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> <br>
so I could add 2 more small VMs, one for AIX 7.2, one for AIX 7.3. On <br>
the other hand, xlc can be downloaded from IBM's website but with <br>
"30-day free trial". I'm not confident that it will work out, but let me <br>
try first.<br>
<br>
There are other alternatives, like shipping cfarm{110,111} from OSUOSL <br>
to me, or if someone can get IBM to sponsor a license.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
