IBM has released HMC v8870 (and a mandatory fix) to the wild. As with
all versions 8 it supports Power6 and newer servers.
Anyone running that yet?
Changes in 8.8.7 include (but are not limited to):
= No more 'Classic' interface.
= No more 'disconnect' only sign off. If you were doing something, sorry
about that.
= Supposedly it now allows you to do everything needed for i Hosting i.
( This is something which 8.8.6.0 did NOT support in the 'Enhanced +' GUI)
= supports the POWER based HMC
= supports install from USB schtick.
= supports SAVUPGDTA to remote server.
It requires:
7042 CR7 or newer or POWER hmc.
I am very ill-disposed to try this version because:
No going back without scratching the POWER system FSP.
No disconnect. I use that CONSTANTLY.
"I have to install this release to see what's in this release"
Learning the enhanced+ GUI has not proven easy for me some things are
buried deeper than whale poo.
Thoughts???
