Re: Console confusion

Did they attach it and see if it did still work?  Or did they just take 
the service Rep's word for it and never tried?  If they have SWM then a 
quick call to IBM will solve it all.

Subject
Console confusion






I have not dealt with a machine that has twinax in over two years.

This one shop has twinax printers and one twinax console on a 520 at 
V5R4 today. They want V6R1. No hardware upgrades needed/necessary for 
them for at least another year.

During service last week, their service rep told them that twinax was 
not supported in V6R1. My understanding is that Power 6 machines do not 
support IOPs and thus twinax, but that V6R1 doesn't impose any limits.

Can someone confirm this as I can find (so far) no documentation 
supporting the service rep's claim. But I also don't see any 
documentation that directly supports mine.
