Rob,

Sorry, 2 + 2 = 5 today.
Would like to confirm the config.
8286-42A EPXF - so this is an 8-core 4.15 GHz processor, correct.
Main Storage - 8 31E9 - not sure which size this feature is.
DASD - 18 10k 300 GB SAS drives.
Controller - using the base ?

Thanks
Paul

Can't you read? :-)
Didn't I already send you the specs offlist?
8286-42A

It's a loaner, with an option to purchase.

Wait until I get permission to say just how freaking fast the backups are on it! Even with three lpars at once using the same guested fiber card!

Rob,

Do you already have a Power8, if so, which model?

TR8 is not a prerequisite to move to 7.2.
TR8 is a prerequisite to stay at 7.1 yet move to Power 8.

We will put 7.1TR8 on many lpars. These lpars are all at Power 6 with
some really old funky hardware. Therefore I cannot load 7.2 on them. So
I will load 7.1TR8 on them, move them to Power 8 and then upgrade them to
7.2.

I have one lpar which may stay at 7.1TR8 for awhile. At least until we
migrate off of Quickr.
