RE: HMC System Plan Deployment error

Hi Jack

Created the LPARs today manually as Rob suggested - that was always my plan
b anyway, but it's something of a drag and annoying to have to re-do
something that's been done using the system planning tool. I've previously
used the export function with no problems (on the advice of my p buddies who
were using it all the time).

The level on the HMC doesn't look that far back to me looking at the HMC
support web site but I'll confess comprehending that site needs a whole lot
more time than I gave it. Since the System planning tool was the absolute
latest and greatest (downloaded fresh that morning) I agree it's possible
the HMC needs to be updated again to keep them in lock step. If that's the
case though, they should really specify which versions of the HMC the SPT
supports/can be used with, or better yet, just make it work properly.

I might ask one of my IBM buddies but I mainly wanted to see if it was
something obviously stupid I was doing that would provide a quick way
forward.

Regards
Evan Harris

I believe that version of HMC code level to be somewhat old, I have worked
on the HMC for a while now but I have never attempted to do a System Plan
Import. If you have IBM support I would call them and see what they say, if
your sure the machine can support LPAR etc then I would probably move
forward if time is an issue and go the route that Rob has specified.
