Operating system support for partitions on POWER8 processor-based servers that are managed by the Integrated Virtualization Manager
The Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM) supports a number of operating systems for client partitions.
This information applies to IVM Version 2.1.2, and later.
On IBM® Power Systems™ servers with POWER8® processor-based technology, you can install the operating systems on logical partitions that you create by using the IVM.
