RE: Is this Power 9 GA2 firmware? -- MIDRANGE-L

Rob,

From reading this doc below, only certain SSD can be migrated.

Our ES0H 775gb Enterprise SSD were not listed as an available features to be migrated.

What feature SSD will you be migrating?

Two-and-a-half-inch small form factor (SFF) SAS HDDs and SSDs are supported for migration only in the EXP24S. All drives are mounted on Gen2 carriers/trays and thus named SFF-2 drives. The SFF-2 drives, which are supported for migration only in the existing EXP24S are:
HDD 10k RPM

HDD 15k RPM

EPA0 is nothing I care about then.

This is HUGE news! This will allow me to add on my older disk expansion

units I lost in my P8 to P9 system upgrade! ~23TB in "each" upgrade! And

it would allow me to upgrade my last remaining P8. But since that one

runs Domino also I'm holding out until they get IBM i fixed to support

Domino on Power 9.

EPA0 Deactivation of LPM

My guess would be related to this:
