Upgrades to POWER6

["Burns, Bryan" <Bryan_Burns@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, take note then that our 520 to E4A upgrade was the smoothest we've
had in 10 years.  Ditto for our V5R3 to V5R4 OS upgrade.  Not a single
user issue for either upgrade.

We did the upgrade in May and it was so seamless that I find myself
taken aback sometimes when I'm reminded of it.

Aaron,

I cannot help you, but I have to say something.

I am NOT looking forward to the day when my company needs to replace the
520
with Power i equipment.  The amount of trouble people like you and Lukas
and
Pete had and are having getting new machines set up and running gives me
the
willies.  I want simplicity, not this new complexity being introduced.

Just my $.02.
