Bruce,
You are correct. I have a few customers running V6R1 and having
Twinax console.
If you upgrade to a single core Power6 machine, then that machine
imposes no Twinax rule as you can't have an IOP in a single-core Power6
machine.

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.
