OpenStack Compute (nova)

Implement IBM i Supporting in PowerVM

Registered by Daniel Fu

    Currently OpenStack does not support IBM i in powervm driver. Although the underground virtualization mechanism of IBM i is the same as current supported PowerLinux in PowerVM, IBM i instances can not be deployed correctly.
    To support IBM i in powervm, the implementation of the enhancement will be based on current powervm implementation, which includes IVM managed system, single VIOS support and logical volume support. It enrolls a difference in image meta to distinguish IBM i image and Power Linux/AIX. PowerVM will distinguish OS type based on image meta to generate partition accordingly.
