    Hi Folks,

    Can We install Aix on Vmware ??
    If some one did can you guide me thru or point me the links or doc's ???

    I did a lot of goggling but with out much luck , Some say it is possible and some say it is not.
    Aix is supported only in IBM power hardware and we need some emulation on Vmware machine X86.
    But so far i wasn't able to figure this out yet ?

    Any suggestion or advice would be of great help as i guess either i'm trying for something not possible or not following the right path.

    Thanks Guys !
