Re: P7 IBM Hardware & Software Maintenance Renewal line item details

For hardware they give you a number and for software a number.

You CAN get hardware detail but it's not easy or quick.

The hardware number would only be broken down the various Rack components so things like the System Unit, the I/O drawers, the HMC and like that. Then there is the 24x7 uptick also that's a separate line item.

I just received our Hardware & Software Maintenance Renewal quote from BP.
Totals only, I requested itemized detail, was informed by BP that IBM does supply the details.
I know the details were included on the original config when we migrated from P5 to P7 3 years ago.
Is this normal?
Is there a source for these numbers?
