RE: Death of SNA?

Patricia,

I'll agree that it would allow you to do away with the hardware required 
for the controlling partition.
However I'm not sure if I'd agree if it allows you to do away with the 
dependencies of the controlling partition.  After all, you still have the 
dependency of the firmware on the FSP.  Firmware updates to the FSP still 
are as disruptive as OS updates to a controlling partition.
And if you are a shop with only one box I am not sure that the payback is 
there in the reduction of hardware needed for a controlling partition vs 
the cost of a HMC.  Makes more of a difference in a multiple box shop.
