RE: HMC V6R1

["Christen, Duane J." <dchristen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Would you rather IBM pulled a release that had major problems, as they did
here, or do as M$ does.

IBM seems to be d@*&$^ if they do and d@*&$^ if they don't, while M$ can
pass off crap and most people eat it up with a spoon.

Tuesday's laugh:

IBM has decided to temporarily withdraw HMC Version 6 Release 1.0 until
fixes are available for the following problems: 

All 7310C04/7315C05 models with an internal modem are subject to hang,
after installing/upgrading to HMC Version 6 Release 1.0. 
Activation of a partition with shared ethernet adapter failed. 
IBM is working on providing a replacement internal modem that will work
with HMC Version 6 Release 1.0, as well as fixes for the other problems.


IBM will notify customers as soon as the fixes are made available, at
which time, HMC Version 6 Release 1.0 will become available again.
