BI on Linux in an LPAR

We have a BW system on Intel that requires a version upgrade and a hardware upgrade. I would like to bring it onto the iSeries, but the cost of OS/400 on additional processors is prohibitive.

Is there anyone running BI (or any NW2004 based product) on Linux in an LPAR?

If so what are the pros and cons? (Other than cost)

What DB are you using?

Look forward to hearing from you.
