IBM has announced the end of software upgrades for x86 based HMC’s (see below). Does anyone know if this includes the virtual HMC running on VMware? I suspect that they are included since they run the same code base as the hardware appliances but a case could be made since they call out the 7042 hardware models.
Major update support for x86-based (7042) HMC hardware appliances will end in 2018. From 2019, HMC updates will only support Power®-based (7063) HMC appliances. However, software fix support for existing in-support releases for the x86-based HMC appliance will remain unchanged. See the IBM POWER® code matrix website for the lifecycle of releases for the hardware appliance.
