A customer is considering a new POWER8 system. They want internal SSDs and HDDs to be virtualized to IBM
i partitions using VIOS.
What should be considered when making this decision?

A.
The IBM i OS will use EasyTier to balance hot and cold data.

B.
The SSD and HDD can share the same EXP24S drawer.

C.
vSCSI must be used to virtualize the disk in VIOS.

D.
VIOS will use integrated IBM i capabilities to balance hot and cold data.

Explanation:
IBM i Host & Client partitions
The creation of a Client partition leveraging iVirtualization consists of 2 main phases:
Creating the Client partition (IBM i or Linux) including its connection to physical hardware
Creating the objects in the hosting IBM i partition and activating the IBM i or Linux Client partition
