I've just found out that 5887 disk drawers will not be initially supported
on Power 9's.
This will postpone one of our Power 9 upgrades until GA2.
And I will have to chop our disk availability in half on our other two
Power upgrades until then.
Nothing like leaving 21TB of SSD "on the shelf" on EACH of the two other
Power 8-9 upgrades.

For those thinking of using a Power 9 upgrade to cover the maintenance of
older SSD's you'd better make sure those older SSD's are not in 5887's.
