    Domino on Power 10.
    Domino on IBM i 7.5
    Still waiting for HCL to come out with support for Domino on Power 10. They said it would come out shortly after Domino 12.0.2. My definition of shortly differs from that of a geologist. Anyways, I am going to show you something that's not supported.
    Not Supported. But seems to work just fine.
    This lpar is on IBM i 7.4, cume 22328, TR 7.
    It will be upgraded to 7.5 this week.
    I have lpars on a Power 9 already on 7.5 running this same version of Domino and have been running it for months.
    Based on testing I've done with past upgrades of IBM i the biggest saving grace with IBM i 7.5 is that IBM did not drop a version of Java from 7.4. Normally Domino tends to like the lowest version of Java currently supported. With past upgrades I could pinpoint this error precisely. Luckily 7.5 is not a problem.
    Again, unsupported, YMMV, etc.
    If you're wondering why I was still running 7.4 after 7.5 has been out so long it was because these lpars came from a Power 8.
    The Power 8 is now undergoing it's disk wipe for decommissioning.
    Burn the boats.

    Testing is still in progress. Please expect a Power 10 compatibility statement to be available in early Q2/23
