IBM needs to step up on this. I've been saying it for over 20 years now.

I thought about putting something together, but the APIs, at least when I
was digging into it, weren't what I'd call "available".

another "problem" is that Certs will be getting down to a 90 day lifespan.

automation will be key for everyone to deal with it.

Hi Pete,

No, I'm retired. I was just curious because it seemed like quite a few
steps Rob had to go through, then repeat for another 13 LPARs.

I have no idea how many shops have that many LPARs, or if the difficulty
of implementing some automated version of those steps is worth it.
