Certainly neither AS/400 nor iSeries hardware; conceivably for
Power8, with IBM i. The following information appeared for a web search
on "Power8" and "IBM i "; perhaps helpful?:

_HMC for POWER8 Scale-Out Servers_

"...
... The various management options and supported virtual machine types are:

• With an HMC (AIX, Linux, IBM i)
• Without an HMC:
• IVM (AIX, Linux, IBM i)
• KVM (Linux)
• Full system partition (AIX, Linux, IBM i)

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a popular open-source hypervisor
that’s new to the Power Systems family of servers. Both KVM and IVM are
installed and run directly on the server. Their management in scope
applies only to the virtual machines running on the same server. ...

Q: Will AIX or IBM I run in KVM on Power?
A: Given that KVM initially runs on Linux-only platforms, support for
non-Linux operating systems has not been planned at this time.
