Lukas,
This is a development machine on a developer lease directly with IBM so
I theoretically couldn't have gotten better advice about the BCS and
JS12 :-)
Not really complaining, just noting the differences in support and I
guess I didn't really think through the support issues since I think in
that last 17 years of AS/400-i ownership I have had exactly two drives
fail and probably called software support 6 times. The i just runs and
always has. I figured that a BCS with a blade was just as stable, even
though it might be more complex. I am learning a new thing here!
As it turns out, the precipitating failure of the media tray is still
being investigated. They hope to have a patch available *soon*. The
VIOS failing to boot is a mystery both to me and the AIX group but
without VIOS I can't get my IBM i LPAR to boot so I am stuck. I spent
an hour and a half on the phone yesterday but I have all day today to
try to run this down.
I'll keep you posted.
Pete

Good question! Â I always just took the "standard" coverage that came
Most Blades/BladeCenter ship with a 3 year warranty with a next
business day coverage by default.
Already beginning to miss the i in System i (i=Integration of HW/SW/support)
Your BP should've told you that, and make sure that you get what you
needed. But it's a damn shame, many of them don't care about the
newest additions to the IBM i capable platforms.
