IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 23, Number 7
February 17, 2021 Doug Bidwell
This first bit in the news is a biggy for any Hardware Management Console (HMC) users. IBM has made an announcement regarding firmware for the HMC, and specifically, it regards FW950 and the required minimum HMC level of V9R2M950. What this means is that if the customer does not have a 7063-CR1 or Virtual HMC V9 appliance, they cannot HMC install/manage any Power9 server running FW950.
See more at this link and look for more coverage in the next issue of The Four Hundred.
