Cisco IOS on Juniper hardware?
This FOSS networking looks interesting e.g. OpenflowSwitch movement http://www.openflow.org/ http://mvdirona.com/jrh/TalksAndPapers/JamesHamilton_CleanSlateCTO2009.pdf
Trying to open the network stack -networking is where mainframe was years ago (proprietary everything
SANs are just fighting the ASIC vs. x86 battle now too e.g. http://blog.nigelpoulton.com/3par-v-class-the-best-just-got-better/#comments
http://opennetsummit.org/ perhaps when its all converged it will be all commodity hardware running FOSS?

Perl program to work out what the golden screwdriver has done
Here is a perl script Ive written to go out to the IBM POD/MOD DB web site and get back the activations for your iSeries(AS400) or pSeries(RS6000) systems - just feed it the S/n like below
(you can then compare this to what you get in the HMC to see if ones missed)

aio_active = 0
posix_aio_active =
there are no more AIO devices in the ODM.
two new parameters have been added to ioo: aio_active and posix_aix_active.
These can only be changed by AIX, and they are set to 1 only when AIO kernel extensors are used and pinned - you won't find any more AIO servers.
there are now aioLpools and aioPpools thesekernel processes manage AIO
