Yeah, I know, call IBM support. But it isn't that simple. It's what to say when first connected to a support person.

For those folks who have i running on a blade (a small # at this point), what has been your "strategy" in calling IBM support? Do you just say i5/OS and leave it at that? How about hardware? Do you say "I am on a Blade running Power"?

I have a feeling I am going to enter a no man's land when I call about this problem in starting i5/OS on the blade, so I'd like your counsel. I could have a problem with the way I configured the BCS (running AMM). I could have an issue with VIOS on the blade (since I haven't been able to get to it) There might be an issue with the modules in the BCS.

So, for anyone who has been brave enough to call IBM support on a blade issue, where did you start? My gut tells me this is a BCS issue but as soon as I mention "IBM i 6.1 on Power" as the OS I am sure that whoever I get will want to transfer to another group.

Any wisdom you may have, BEFORE I enter the abyss, would be helpful.
