So I upgraded one of my HMCs to the latest 9.1.920 level. Yippee.

I am honestly trying to find any reason whatever that this version is superior to version 8.860 for Power7 and Power8 servers. This is especially focused on users with IBM i partitions primarily, and optionally with VIOS supporting I/O.

I'm not interested in 'well it's patched for this or that attack or flaw' or 'they are required for Power9. I'm looking for things that this version WILL do that I can't do with 8.860. Honestly I'm at a loss.

Yes I am aware they allow you to do IBM i Hosting of IBM i on this version but that's not really a new thing because I could do that on 8.860 in the Classic view.

There are some things that are marginally useful but woefully incomplete but before I bash those, enlighten me! Please!!
