RE: P5 technology question.

["Mike" <mshaw2456@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

You are right about AIX, but the $64K question still remains.  Will they do
the same thing for iSeries?  Since AIX will be available in the mix of V5R3
if you chose to create a partition and run it, it may have some limitations
given that it's the first time on the iSeries...Just as logical partitioning
got started on the AS/400.  That's not a bad thing because everything has to
have a starting point.  

Until we get an iSeries announcement and general availability, we only have
good ideas based on what other IBM platforms have been doing as your URL
points out.

Regards,

Mike Shaw

pSeries is not a rumor.  It's had the HMC for awhile.  How it physically 
attaches...

Depends on what you define as 'built-in'.  Is the HMC for pSeries lan 
attached or does it use about the same cable as direct Op's Console?  But 
if you consider twinax to be 'built-in' it probably doesn't matter.  And 
can something that can run several machines, either independent boxes, or 
lpar's, be considered 'built-in'?

Well, technically, the scuttlebutt is a barrel (or "butt") with a hole (or
"scuttle") cut into it, used to store drinking water on a sailing ship.
Effectively a pre-20th-century version of the drinking fountain.

Seriously, I wouldn't mind one bit, seeing a built-in console added to the
next generation of AS/400s, as long as it eliminates the need for all
those silly CA/Windoze-based things like OpsConsole, OpsNav, &c. And if
it's Linux-based, it's certainly an improvement over something
Windoze-based. Although I'd still prefer for IBM to stop making such a
show of abandoning Twinax.
