A customer has a 40-core E880 with 2TB of memory installed with 10 cores and 1TB of memory activated.
They want to move a Linux application from their x86 environment to the E880. The application is supported on
Linux on Power and requires 8 cores and 64GB of memory.
The Linux team is unfamiliar with the Power hardware.
Which of the following should be proposed to add the additional resources at the lowest cost?

A.
Purchase 2 IFLs and add them to the default processor pool.

B.
Purchase an additional 8 cores and 64GB of memory.

C.
Purchase 2 IFLs and 64GB of memory activations.

D.
Purchase 2 IFLs and isolate them in a shared processor pool.

Explanation:
Power Integrated Facility for Linux (Power IFL) is an optional lower cost per processor core activation for Linuxonly workloads on IBM Power Systems. You can activate Power IFL processor cores that are restricted to
running Linux workloads.
You can use shared processor pools to limit the use of processor capacity.
