When you purchase an IBM Edition, you can purchase an AIX, IBM i, or Linux
operating system license, or you may choose to purchase the system with no
operating system. The AIX, IBM i, or Linux operating system is processed via a
feature number on AIX 5.4 or 6.1, IBM i 6.1.1, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
If you choose AIX 5.4 or 6.1 for your primary operating system, you can also order
IBM i 6.1.1 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. The converse is true if you choose an
IBM i or Linux subscription as your primary operating system.
These sample configurations can be changed as needed and still qualify for
processor entitlements at no additional charge. However, selection of total memory
or DASD/SSD/Fibre Channel/FCoE adapter quantities smaller than the totals
defined as the minimums disqualifies the order as an IBM Edition and the no-charge
processor activations are then removed.
Processor activations are only available to Solution Delivery Integration (SDIs) as
MES orders.
Processor cards ordered separately after the initial order are not eligible for no-
charge processor activations.
Edition minimum memory definition details:
A minimum of 4 GB memory per core is needed to qualify for the IBM Edition, except
on the 6-core IBM Edition where there is a 32 GB minimum memory requirement.
For example, a 6-core minimum is 32 GB, an 8-core minimum is 32 GB, and a 12-
core minimum is 48 GB. There can be many different valid memory configurations
that meet the minimum 4 GB per core requirement. For example:
• 6-core (32 GB minimum) -- 4 x 8 GB (2 x 4 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4526)
Also, 2 x 16 GB (2 x 8 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4527)
Also, 1 x 32 GB (2 x 16 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4528)
• 8-core (32 GB minimum) -- 4 x 8 GB (2 x 4 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4526)
Also, 2 x 16 GB (2 x 8 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4527)
Also, 1 x 32 GB (2 x 16 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4528)
• 12-core (48 GB minimum) -- 6 x 8 GB (2 x 4 GB DIMMs) Memory (#4526)
