Inventor's Paradox

 Creating a Virtual Machine is a necessary step of most of software development process. The reason is that we want to optimalise our hardware use, to isolate one application instance from another application  instance running in the same hardware. For that purpose I recently tried to create a VM instance in an IBM machine, a PowerVM. Creating such VM is quite different than creating such VM in VMWare, and this post will show some tips when facing challenges creating a PowerVM.
