A customer purchased a 6-core POWER7 740 to run a new ERP solution. Three IBM i partitions are planned: one each for production, test, and development. Capacity entitlement for each IBM i partition is:

Production = 1.5 cores

Development = 0.75 cores

Test = 0.5 cores, but is only needed prior to software releases

AIX and Linux partitions will each use 3 cores. The ERP solution needs to be available 24x7 and performance problems in the production partition need to be avoided. How many IBM i licenses are required?
