Re: How much time would be needed to move an iSeries with the below rack config?

Gee, isn't Paul still running 7.1? If so, what's the point of waiting for
new hardware announcements? Kind of like taking a kid to a candy store,
but only to look.

As far as "hurry up the cables and clean them up later" I've discovered
they never get cleaned up. Ever. It get's deemed too disruptive.

I will say that going from Power 6 to Power 8 and virtualizing ethernet,
virtualizing fiber channel tape, getting rid of numerous enclosures of
smaller disk drives and all IOP enclosures, is one awesome way to clean up
cables. Since he's coming from Power 7 he won't be having near the "crap"
that I had with Power 6. It was amazing to see how little rack space the
system took compared to Power 6.
