More like confusion pure and simple.
CORRECT if you have an actual iSeries machine (that is it actually says
"iSeries" on the front panel) you won't be able to run IBM i 7.1
without getting a new serial number. But that's not 'new news' at all.
Those machines are 6.1 at the very latest and mostly V5R4 is the end of
the line. As there are no IBM upgrades out of these machines available
you will have to get a new serial number to run IBM i 7.1 if you have
one of these.
If you have a POWER5 or 5+ machine you can already run IBM i 7.1 so
you're good. But on the other hand if you want to get up to POWER7 then
you would need to either upgrade to POWER6 and THEN to POWER7 (two
steps) to keep the same serial number or you buy a new POWER7 and get a
new serial number.
Hope that helps a little!!

Unsubstantiated rumor:
Someone came back from a seminar and said that all iSeries machines
would have to get a new serial number by June, 2011 (hardware change?)
if they want to go to V7R1.
Huh?
