RE: POWER 7 Upgrade

EB34 is only needed for 6.1.1 on Power7+ machines. The story at Common was IBM didn't originally roll support for + chips back to 6.1.1. Customer demand spurred them to offer it for a small fee.

IBM really really doesn't want you to do 6.1.1 unless you're willing to pay for it.
My BP got pretty upset when he figured out that they just charged for a code.
Who cares if you go to 6.1.1. 7.1 will happen. Just not today!
