Re: migrating an iscsi card

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Reminds me of the time I was on the phone with support fixing resource 
names during a CISC to RISC. The Ethernet card had gotten tagged CTL01 
and this made OS/400 very mad and the console a tad, well, gone.  So I'm 
in SST re-mapping this stuff and saying. " So then this becomes GEORGE 
and this card will be FRED and the next one is MARY, and " When the IBM 
guy finally interrupts me with this incredulous tone of voice: "Um, 
you're not really giving the resources people names are you?" I relied 
"Sure, I just love it when the local CEs see these names, what a hoot!"  
to which he replied "I'm gonna have to find a way to get my name off 
this call record...."  OK I was just kidding but it was a good humor 
moment for o:dark 30 in the middle of a migration!
