Re: New Server Shipped From IBM with HMC ordered

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As Others have said, It Depends. It sounds to me though like you were 
thinking about the HMC rather than the Power System since you mentioned 
version 8.1.0.

Unlike Cisco where gear is often in warehouses for months before it 
ships to customers, IBM loads them just prior to shipping them which 
means they are very current both version and fix levels when you get them.

If you ordered a Power8 and you're getting a new HMC with it, then I 
would expect it will show up with 8.1.0 on it but I have not yet seen 
this combination ordered so I could be wrong. My customers have had 
existing HMCs to this point.
