Re: IBM i5 520 built in Ireland?

Although serial numbers are unique in theory, in practice they are not.
When I built the TAA Tools database here, I put a logical over the license
file that was unique by serial number, and I had to remove the unique
keyword within a year.  Both are reputable companies.

Yeah - years and years ago most of the B10's that went to Canada were sn/
78-xxxxx (from Mexico).  That caused some trouble, especially as we had
two customers with the same last 5 digits of the s/n, one prefixed with
10- was a 9406 and the 78- was a 9404.

Wait'll the entitlement people get hold of this one. I feel sorry for you
if the machine is being installed in the US and the serial number does not

start with the numbers designating it as a US machine. I dealt with this a

few years ago, and finally had to declare a "machine down" condition to
get it resolved. By the way, you'll enjoy the accents of the folks in the
entitlement group......... :-((

Where is it being installed - stateside?  That would be rather freaky.  If


it was overseas then I can see how IBM might have them first go through
some other port.  Perhaps it's already a trade in that's coming back
stateside?

IBM i5 520 built in Ireland?






FW: This is the i5 520 from IrelandAll -

I thought the i5 was being manufactured in Rochester...I guess I was
wrong!

I received this message today from my client's iSeries system
administrator, who received it from his IBM business partner.  (See below)

I finally got the schedule ship date from IBM.  It is October 11th.
Normally it takes four business days to deliver.  However, this unit is
coming out of Dublin, Ireland.  IBM said they have had some issues with
customs.  Once it ships I can start tracking.  As far as setting up your
travel plans, I would give it until 10/21 or 10/22 as a projected arrival.
