…a.k.a. “I just bought this POWER7 server on eBay…now what?”
In part one of this series, we’ll reset our new-to-us POWER server to factory defaults and configure the service processor and create our RAID arrays.
Part 2 – Installing VIOS:
Part 3 – Installing…

I just finished helping a small company phase out an IBM Power720. It's a sweet box. Still running but not for long probably
You did not mention LPAR in the video 🙁 I miss the ASM login screen, the P10 ebmc login isn't as pleasant looking. Btw there are ways to get serial console, but I'm pretty sure it's not in the documentation 😉
Never had an IBM Power server and probably never well but these videos are so well done I feel compelled to watch them anyways. Thanks for the detailed high quality content.
Hi Matthew, can linux be installed on IBM P5 server?
Thank you for sharing your IBM power server with AIX knowledge. I am thinking of getting a IBM iSeries Power6 P520 System for hobby fun. It is a headless server – has no graphics card which is typical for non INTEL corporate UNIX servers. But would it be possible to run X Windows on it and be able to use it remotely? Edit: I discovered a IBM graphics card can be fitted to a IBM Power6 P520.
Nice video Mathew. Very well explained. Great job! Thank you!
Great sharing Sir…Thanks
Hello Matthew.
Could you please share a link to the cable you use for connection to ASCII terminal?
Because this is my first experience with setup of IBM Power730 and I'm trying to understand how to deal with ASCII terminal connection .
Thank you so much, you are the only person on youtube that has fully documented the process to setup an IBM server. You really saved me so much time!
This was a really cool and interesting video. I am impressed by the excellent explanation and level of detail that you provided. Thanks a bunch!!!
Hi Matthew Could you please advise how to download Standalone Diagnostics. Because i was buy 2nd hand Server Power S824 . the main i would like to reset factory and config new raid. kindly advise.
Great Video!!! A little info. When doing a full firmware reset, do you have to reload the Frame Power 7 – CoDs from IVM or HMC ?
Very cool.
Hi matthew could you make an episode on licensing and how one might get or not get hobbyist license for real hardware or emulated?
Great ! It really helped me ! Thanks for you time and explanation !
Great video! What is the approximate power consumption for this server at the outlet under a light workload?
Thank you it helps a lot. You are doing good job.
Great video! Do you also plan to do similar video with Power8 sever? With hardware setup, service processor and differences to Power7
I am really looking forward to watching all of the POWER videos. About 7 years ago, I was involved in buying a lot of POWER8 servers and I never had chance to actually use them. This is making me itchy to get one off ebay and set it up.
Great video! Despite all cloud stuff we still have some Power 9 at work, the old AS/400 applications live on. ☺
Yes!!!! Holy cow this helped me sooooo much. Thank you. I was never able to get my Power 750 RAID array setup and I never could figure out why. I thought my system was broken as the array kept failing. I was using generic HGST disk and never knew what was wrong. I guess I need IBM official drives. Can't wait to see the rest of the series.
I'm looking forward to this too…
OMG at last! A series on IBM POWER server management! Thank you so much Matthew for taking the time to explain this niche architecture.👍
