Re: Power 6 and the Feature Code

With so many software vendors basing their price on a combo of the
P-level and the feature code, I am wondering if the new Power 6 will
result in a change to the feature code and therefore a surprise price
increase for a lot of folks using packaged software. I have asked an IBM
source and they will only say that the Power 6 will not change the p-level
of a machine. But they are ominously silent about whether it will change
the feature code or not.

Anybody out there know the skinny on this one? Thanks.

You can find a response in the new (draft) system builder :

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp5052.html

Page 22 (or page 42 for the PDF file), there are the processor and server
feature. Take a look at the footpage note 6c, you will also find processor
feature code.
