I hate it when I fat finger....

So continuing:

Build the VIOS, all four of 'em, no sweat. Update VIOS also very easy.
Now try to build the IBM i partitions. Managing the profile. Has IBM
even bothered to Alpha test this crap?
Windows jump around and size themselves so not all the data fits. Fix the
window size and then when you put the cursor on it and click to gain focus,
bam, it resizes again.
Error messages that for about 2 seconds are valid until you fill in the
second WWPN will not go away, you have to bail out of the dialog and come
back in to clear.
Things do not save when they should. (even when the explicit "save" button
is pushed.

What would have been done in about 45 minutes in the old interface has now
taken nearly six hours because this idiotic interface does not work
properly. And that's with IBM i on a SAN. I'd hate to think what it looks
like with IBM i hosting IBM i. I'm going to find out soon since I'll be
installing one of those next week.

Hey IBM. Test the )(*&(^&%*&$&$&$%&*() HMC code BEFORE you ship it.

confusing as hell, and C) was actually productive......

So brand spanken new HMCs show up with the P9. OK, now I have to use the
HMC V9 now even though I really hate the new interface. So, I have to
configure 4 VIOS partitions, and 6 IBM i partitions. Next get the virtual
fiber connections set up so the partitions can see the SAN.

Build the VIOS no sweat, load and update the
