Re: I5 vs. 810

Al,

HMC has been in the AIX area for about a year now.  It has a good track record 
there.  S/390 has had HMC like capability as well but it was based on OS/2 for 
a time.  HMC may be new to the i5, but it has been around awhile in terms of a 
concept.

HMC running Linux has to be be better than Ops Console from the standpoint that 
IBM can control it much better than they could Windows.   

Regards,

Mike Shaw
