RE: LPAR validation Tool (LVT) newbie questions

["Wilt, Charles" <CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brian,

I though that the 5702/5712 were the same.  But I'm hearing different
from my BP.

According to him, the 5702 will go into the base cabinet of my 810, even
though the 810 is not PCI-X, and the LVT seems to agree.  However, the
5712 won't.

Thus, I thought I'd play with it some myself.

Again, I understand the some cards may be the same.  But it would be
really nice to be able to match the LVT to what is printed on my rack
listing.

Is there anyway to have the LVT use the old numbers?
