How many partitions can be created with VPM on an IBMi?

    I ever read that within IBMi you can create up to 4 client partitions, but I can't find the document where I read it to corroborate this information and if it has changed and more partitions can be created, could you help me? greetings.

    Dear Miguel

    I did a Google search with "ibm vpm" and found this information that confirms your understanding :  Virtual Partition Manager Last Updated: 2023-10-10 at  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5?topic=i-virtual-partition-manager   

    You will see this in the URL above :  This enhanced VPM function is available on IBM POWER6® or later (scale-out Models only) that do not have an external management console. With this enhancement to IBM i, VRM provides the ability to create up to four IBM i or Linux partitions. In addition, the hosting IBM i partition must own and manage all of the physical I/O resources. A PowerVM license is required to partition the server using VPM.
